curfew on the state capital and surrounding areas after a
failed attempt by the deadly Boko Haram sect to capture
Gombe metropolis.
The military engaged the sect in a fierce battle that lasted
over three hours before the capital could be secured.
The imposition of the curfew was contained in a statement
issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Abubakar
Sule Bage.
