Fintiri relaxes Mubi curfew, warns criminals, troublemakers 

Adamawa State Governor, Umaru Fintiri, has relaxed the curfew imposed on Mubi Local Government Area as part of efforts to restore normal activities and support businesses in the area.

The new curfew arrangement takes effect immediately. Vehicular movement, including tricycles and electric bicycles, will now be restricted between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. daily, while people moving on foot can remain outside until 10:00 p.m.

The change followed a review of the security situation in Mubi, one of Adamawa State’s major commercial centres.

Fintiri praised Mubi residents for obeying the earlier curfew, saying their cooperation helped security agencies restore peace in the area.

He said Mubi’s importance to trade, agriculture and cross-border commerce made it necessary to create an environment where businesses could operate without fear.

“Government is committed to protecting lives and property while also ensuring that economic activities are not unduly disrupted. I urge all residents to continue to cooperate with security agencies and to be vigilant. Let us keep the peace in Mubi for the overall interest of our people and the prosperity of our businesses,” Fintiri said.

The governor also warned criminals and other troublemakers against actions that could threaten the peace recently restored in the town.

“Anyone found engaging in criminal activities will be dealt with in accordance with the law. Government will not fold its arms and allow a few individuals to jeopardise the peace we have worked hard to restore,” he added.

He said his administration would continue working with traditional rulers, community leaders, youth and women’s groups to strengthen security and keep Mubi safe for residents and businesses.
