Elections: Taraba Govt imposes dusk-to-dawn curfew

The Taraba State Government, on Monday, imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on Jalingo, the state capital from Monday March 11, until further notice.
According to a statement by Alhaji Hassan Mijinyawa, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Darius Ishaku, the curfew would run from 6p.m to 6a.m daily.
The government, however, explained that some INEC officials, key agents of political parties and observers involved in collation of elections results are exempted.
Ishaku appealed to the people of the state to continue to be law abiding and urged security agents to ensure strict compliance in order to prevent break down of law and order in the state.
As at the time of filing this report, results from eight local governments so far collated show that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won seven, while the All progressives Congress (APC) won one.
Results from the remaining eight councils were still being collated.
