Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has announced an adjustment to the movement restriction on commercial tricycles, popularly known as Keke Napep, in Yola North, Yola South, and Girei Local Government Areas. This decision aims to facilitate the smooth observance of Ramadan activities, particularly Tafsir sessions.

Effective immediately, the curfew, which previously ran from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM, has been relaxed to 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM daily throughout the Ramadan fasting period. This adjustment is a temporary measure, recognizing the significance of Ramadan, and is subject to review after the fasting period.

Governor Fintiri has also directed security agencies to intensify surveillance and enhance security operations across the state, deploying additional personnel to safeguard lives and property. He warned that any individual found violating the law will face the full weight of the law.
