Kaduna govt relaxes 24-hour curfew imposed on Kaduna, Zaria
The Kaduna government says it has relaxed the 24-hour curfew imposed on Kaduna and Zaria on Monday.
The overseeing commissioner for internal security and home affairs, Samuel Aruwan, announced this in a statement on Wednesday in Kaduna.
Mr Aruwan said, “The Kaduna State Security Council, under the leadership of Governor Uba Sani, after a thorough review of the security situation in Kaduna and Zaria towns and environs, has unanimously agreed to relax the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed on Monday.
“By this review, the curfew will now be in effect from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. daily. This implies that citizens may move freely and carry out their legitimate activities between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and will revert to the curfew from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.”
He said the council reiterated its total commitment to the peace and security of the state and will continue to take all necessary steps for their preservation.
Mr Aruwan further stated that the security forces would continue to vigorously enforce the curfew from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.
”They will be decisive in confronting actions which may lead to a breakdown of law and order during the periods of movement as well as restriction.
“This is with effect from tomorrow, Thursday, August 8,” he said.
