The Yobe Police Command has arrested 18 individuals linked to the violent protests and vandalism that erupted on Thursday in Nguru, Potiskum, and Gashua.

The arrested individuals will face charges once the investigation concludes.

The police are enforcing a dusk-to-dawn curfew to maintain order and are committed to combating any criminal activities. He urged local communities to assist the police in preventing further violence and maintaining law and order.
