Thomas said the decision was taken after an expanded peace and security meeting with all the security agencies in the area.
Movement is prohibited in any part of the area from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m “until further notice."
“It has become imperative for us to take a holistic approach to curb or checkmate the security threat in our area, even though we are enjoying relative peace in Karu LGA.
“But, we must work tirelessly and take all security measures to ensure we live in peace, considering our proximity to Abuja and criminals are using that as an option to take advantage.
