The Adamawa State Government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Lamurde local government area, effective immediately, following a violent communal clash that erupted Sunday evening.
Reports indicate that armed Chobo-speaking militia from Gombe State, joined by local counterparts, attacked Bachama communities, leaving dozens feared dead and several villages—including Tingno and Waduku—sacked.
In a statement, Deputy Governor’s Press Secretary Hussaini Hammangabdo said security agencies have been deployed to restore order.
The government appeals for residents to stay calm and peaceful as efforts to address the situation continue.
