The Executive Chairman of the Local Government Council, Hon James Thomas, had on Tuesday, after consulting with security agents and other stakeholders, said he was imposing curfew in the council area to boost security.
“This will restrict all movement of vehicles, closure of all Cinema, bars and joints, and all other activities in Karu LGA”, the Council boss said on Tuesday. Also in total compliance were private car owners, as those who close late from their offices in the City centre, who live around Mararaba, Ado, Masaka and environs were seen in a rush-hour movement to their respective areas.
He said, “the government has done well by asking people to stay at home in the night, but you also know that our business is night business. I can tell you what I have lost since last night, just one night shutdown has cost me so much. Imagine what would happen if this curfew continues. I wish the security situation gets better and we are back to our business in earnest. I can’t imagine today is Friday and we are going to lock my lounge”.
