Governor Otu
By CHRISTIAN NJOKU
Gov. Bassey Otu has declared a dusk to dawn curfew in Akpabuyo and Bakassi Local Government Areas of Cross River, following crisis in the two LGAs.
A statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Anthony Owan-Enoh said the curfew takes immediate effect and will run from 7pm to 6am.
It would be recalled that both LGAs in the Southern Senatorial District of the state have been recording crisis for weeks in which lives and properties were lost.
According to the governor, movement of people and vehicles have been banned during the curfew hours.
He said that the measure became necessary to ensure the safety of lives and properties, as well as forestall further breakdown of law and order.
“The public is therefore advised in their own interest to adhere strictly to these directives,” he added. (NAN)
