The government of Nigeria has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew on Jos, Plateau State, following the killing of 23 people returning from a Muslim festival in Nigeria.

In a statement Sunday, the government said the killing was a premeditated ambush for which suspects have already been arrested.

Plateau state governor Simon Lalong said security agencies had arrested 20 suspects and imposed a 6 a.m.-6 p.m. curfew in the area due to fear of reprisals.
