Seven mass transit buses were set ablaze on Thursday at the local government secretariat in Potiskum, amid the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests.
In response to the violence, a 24-hour curfew has been imposed in Potiskum, Gashua, and Nguru towns, effective immediately.
Dairy Abdulsalam, Special Adviser to Governor Mai Mala Buni on Security Matters, appealed to the public to abide by the curfew order and stay at home to allow peace to reign in the affected areas and the state at large.
Abdulsalam stated that security agencies have been directed to ensure enforcement and full compliance with the curfew order.
The curfew was imposed after some hoodlums took advantage of the protests to vandalize and loot government and private properties in the affected towns.
