The Kaduna State Government has relaxed the 24-hour curfew imposed on Monday in Kaduna and Zaria cities.
Mr Samuel Aruwan, the Overseeing Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, made the declaration on Wednesday in Kaduna.
Aruwan said:
“The Kaduna State Security Council under the leadership of Gov. 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 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.”
Aruwan stated that the council restated its absolute commitment to the state’s peace and security, and that it would continue to take all necessary actions to maintain them.
He stated that security officers will continue to strictly enforce the curfew from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m.
Aruwan said:
“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.”
