The governor of Nigeria’s Gombe state on Saturday imposed an around-the-clock curfew after an attack by Boko Haram gunmen, his spokesman said.
“Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo has directed that a 24-hour curfew be imposed on Gombe as a result of the security breach in the city,” Ayuba Aluke said, referring to the state capital of the same name but specifying that the curfew would be in effect statewide.
