The curfew was sequel to weekend's attack and taking over of the
secretariat of the local government by gunmen suspected to be Boko
Haram insurgents.
The government on Sunday cited the "volatile security situation",
which caused loss of lives and property in the local government.
A statement by the Deputy Permanent secretary, Security and Special
Service, Government House, Ahamdu Baji, said: "Following volatile
security situation and attendant loss of lives and property and
displacement of people, Adamawa State Government has imposed 24 hours
curfew on Madagali Local Government Area.
"The Acting Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, extends his heartfelt condolence
to all those affected and assures that Government will do everything
possible to mitigate their hardship.
"The government appeals to the citizens in the area, urging them to
cooperate and observe the curfew strictly".
