As fresh killings resurfaced in troubled southern part of Kaduna State, the State Security Council has imposed a 24 hour curfew in Jema’a and Kaura Local Government Areas with immediate effect.

The action, according to a statement by Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to Governor Nasir el-Rufai, became necessary to protect lives and property and avoid the further breakdown of law and order in the two Local Government Areas.

All security agencies on a Special Operation in the two Local Government Areas have been directed to ensure strict compliance.

Only essential workers and those on humanitarian services are allowed movement after due clearance by security agencies.

Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports say there was pandemonium in Kafanchan, the headquarters of Jema’a local government due to sporadic gun shots by unidentified persons.
