The Nigerian government imposed a 10-hour curfew on the city of Jos, where Christmas Eve blasts killed at least 32 people and wounded more than 50 in the mixed Christian-Muslim area.
The curfew will last from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., Brigadier-General Hassan Umar, commander of the military Joint Task Force based in Jos, said today in a broadcast on state-owned Plateau Radio. The curfew aims to maintain peace in the city, he said.
