Fintiri said the curfew followed the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital, Yola, as they attacked people with machetes and broke into business premises carting away property.
With the curfew imposed, there will be no movement throughout the state until further notice.
Fintiri said only those on essential duties with valid identification would be permitted to move around during the period of the curfew.
