Kaduna
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 4th August 2024.
According to a statement released by the Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs in Kaduna State, Samuel Aruwan, the curfew imposed earlier on the residents, restricting movements of people between 6 am and 8 pm has now been relaxed while people are restricted from coming out of their houses from 6 pm and 8 am.
"By this review, the curfew will now be in effect from 6 pm to 8 am daily. This implies that citizens may move freely and carry out their legitimate activities between 8 am and 6 pm, and will revert to the curfew from 6 pm to 8 am," Aruwan stated.
The commissioner stated that 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.
He, however, vowed that the security forces will continue to vigorously enforce the curfew from 6 pm to 8 am, and will be decisive in confronting actions that may lead to a breakdown of law and order during periods of movement as well as restriction.
Hon Aruwan restated that the review of the curfew and effectiveness of the new restrictions to movement in the state will take effect from today, Thursday 8th August 2024.
Recall that the ongoing nationwide protests had degenerated into serious crisis in some parts of Nigeria including Kaduna State where the protesters turned violent, looting and vandalizing businesses and public assets.
