The curfew, which took effect from midnight on March 29, is expected to remain in force until April 1, 2026.
Announcing the directive, the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, said the measure is aimed at restoring calm, preventing further violence, and safeguarding lives and property.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang condemned the attack, describing it as “barbaric and unprovoked,” and assured residents that security agencies have been deployed across the area to maintain order and track down those responsible.
According to residents, gunmen invaded the community on Sunday night, unleashing violence that resulted in multiple casualties, although official figures are yet to be confirmed.
Authorities have urged residents to remain indoors and fully comply with the curfew as efforts continue to stabilise the situation.
The development comes amid rising tensions in parts of Plateau State, with renewed concerns over security and recurring communal violence.
