Mutfwang encouraged the community leaders, irrespective of their faith or ethnicity, to continue their strategic engagements aimed at nurturing trust, fostering tolerance, and promoting better understanding among the people.
While urging the residents of Mangu LGA to adhere strictly to the curfew by remaining indoors between 8pm and 7am, the governor enjoined them to refrain from taking the law into their own hands.
He also called on the security personnel to fulfill their constitutional responsibility of ensuring effective enforcement of the curfew to prevent any breach of law and order.
While expressing gratitude over the cooperation and support received so far from all concerned, Mutfwang urged the community to maintain its collaboration with the security agencies to ensure the complete restoration of peace and order in the area.
