Kaduna govt relaxes 24-hour curfew
Curfew now 6pm to 8am, while citizens can move from 8am to 6pm
The Governor Uba Sani-led Kaduna State Security Council has relaxed the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed on Monday, August 4.
Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday night.
Aruwan said the decision to relax the curfew followed a thorough review of the security situation in Kaduna and Zaria towns and environs.
“By this review, the curfew will now be in effect from 6pm to 8am daily. This implies that citizens may move freely and carry out their legitimate activities between 8am and 6pm and will revert to the curfew from 6pm to 8am.
“The Kaduna State Security Council reiterates its total commitment to the peace and security of the State and will continue to take all steps deemed necessary for their preservation.
“Furthermore, the security forces will continue to vigorously enforce the curfew from 6pm to 8am and will be decisive in confronting actions which may lead to a breakdown of law and order during periods of movement as well as restriction,” the commissioner said.
Aruwan said the new decision took effect from Thursday, August 8.
