The Bauchi state government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Katagum Local Government Area due to the breakdown of law and order in the ongoing nationwide protest.

This is contained in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Ibrahim Kashim, on Monday in Bauchi.

He said the measure was necessary to arrest the deteriorating security situation in Azare, the capital of Katagum LGA and its environs, following vandalism and looting of public properties.
