In a press statement by the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Usman, the curfew hours imposed on the town, which was 9pm to 6am, is now 7pm to 6am daily.

The additional two hours was handed down due to the worsening security situation in the state, especially as a result of an increase in the number of attacks on some towns.
