Cross River State Governor, Prof Ben Ayade, has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state starting from 6pm on Friday.
A statement by the Special Adviser Media and Publicity to the Governor, Christian Ita, said the curfew followed “the hijacking of the peaceful protest against police brutality in the state by hoodlums.
“Residents of the state are advised to observe the curfew as security agents have been mandated to arrest anybody who flouts it.”
Hoodlums looted the state government’s warehouse on Bishop Moinagh Avenue on Friday.
They carted away bags of rice, garri, cartons of noodles, among other commodities.
