Bayelsa Governor Diri Enforces Curfew Amid Protests

The Bayelsa government, led by Governor Douye Diri, imposed an immediate curfew in the community of Biseni due to escalating protests that led to the destruction of several buildings owned by traditional chiefs. The announcement was made on a Friday through a statement by the governor's press secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah.

The decision followed briefings from security commanders regarding the breakdown of law and order, where protesters barricaded roads and set bonfires. Governor Diri directed security operatives to restore peace and security in the area and urged responsible community members to remain law-abiding.

He emphasized that the government would continue to implement measures to ensure the safety of lives and property in Biseni.
