Ebonyi State Lifts Amasiri Curfew After Three Months

The Ebonyi State Government has lifted the curfew imposed on Amasiri three months after the killings of four individuals from Okporojo Village in Idima Community, Edda Local Government Area. Mr.

E.Y. Kolawole, Director of the State Services, announced the decision on Monday, May 4, following a security council meeting at the Governor's office in Abakaliki.

Kolawole briefed journalists that while the curfew is lifted, security personnel will continue to be present in the area to maintain peace and prevent any breakdown of law and order.

The state government is committed to monitoring the community's development to ensure peace is maintained. Additionally, Mr.

Rita Mari Okoro, head of services in the state, issued a circular directing the return of workers to their posts, indicating a restoration of normal activities in the area.
