Beginning on July 2, 2023, the governor of Taraba State, Agbu Kefas, has placed a 24-hour curfew on Karim town, the administrative center of Karim Lamido Local Government Area (LGA), and its surroundings.
The curfew was necessitated by renewed communal conflicts in some parts of the local government area after the killing of over thirty lives.
In a statement, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Yusuf Sanda said security agencies have been mandated to ensure strict compliance and any person or group of persons found violating the order should be dealt with in accordance with the law.
“All ward heads, village heads, traditional rulers, and stakeholders in Karim Lamido LGA are advised to take note of the development,” the statement concluded.
