The Plateau State Government has lifted the curfew in Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu Local Government Areas, effective immediately.

Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, announced the decision in a statement issued in Jos on Thursday.

She said Governor Caleb Mutfwang approved the move after talks with security agencies.

The reason, she said, is that the three areas have been relatively peaceful.

She said the lifting should help bring back normal life, make it easier for people to move around, and get businesses and daily activities running again in the affected communities.

Ramnap asked residents to keep the peace, work with security agencies and quickly report anything suspicious.

She also asked people to obey the law and avoid anything that could put security at risk.

She added that the state government appreciates residents' cooperation and remains committed to protecting lives and property and promoting peaceful coexistence.
