Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has relaxed the curfew in Lamurde Local Government Area, allowing residents to move between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m., with restrictions in force from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. The change follows sustained calm and improved security after recurring land-related clashes between the Bachama and Tshobo communities.
