Normalcy has returned to Gombe and its environs after the imposition of a 15-hour curfew on the city by the State Government in response to the prevailing security situation in the area.

The state government had imposed a curfew on the city on April 27 at about 3 p.m.

It, however, relaxed the order on Sunday after due consultation with the security agencies in the state.

On April 22, a vehicle killed ten members of the Boys Brigade during Easter procession in the metropolis, while 30 others sustained various degrees of injury.

On April 27, when the bodies of the victims were being taken for burial, the city became tensed as some youths threatened retaliation, hence throwing the town into confusion.
