Bandits: Kaduna declares 24-hour curfew in two LGAs
The Kaduna government on Monday declared a 24-hour curfew in Jema’a and Kaura local government areas.
Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, announced this in a statement, stating that this followed advice from security agencies.
“This is to assist the security agencies to stabilise the situation in the areas, save lives and property and enable the restoration of law and order,’’ he said.
According to Mr Aruwan, the security agencies have full authorisation to enforce the curfew.
“Government appeals to all residents of Jema’a and Kaura LGAs to cooperate with the security agencies in the urgent task of restoring peace and upholding law and order,” said the statement. “Government condemns the violence and all acts of lawlessness that have occurred in the area.”
The commissioner further said updates would be issued when necessary.
