Usman said the blank ammunition used to disperse protesters has little or no effect on its target.

3. Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has relaxed the 24-hour curfew which he imposed on Adamawa State this past Sunday.

He has directed that people and vehicles be allowed to move around between 8am and 6pm, but checkpoints would remain in strategic places to stop vandals from moving their loot out of the State.

The attackers also cut of his manhood and snatched his AK-47 rifle. They committed the act after attacking a police station in Abakaliki, the Enonyi State capital.
