While presenting the report, the Chairman assured the Governor that concerted peace-building efforts by the Committee have restored normalcy in the area, hence the need to lift the curfew.

It would be recalled that the State Governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas on the second of July 2023 imposed a 24-hour curfew in the area as a result communal feud between the Karimjo and Wurkum communities over chieftaincy matters.
