Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has enforced a 24-hour curfew in the Kaduna and Zaria metropolitan towns.
In a statement issued Monday, the Overseeing Commissioner of the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said:
“The Kaduna State Security Council under the leadership of Governor Uba Sani, following a review of the security situation in the state, noted that there is sufficient evidence to clearly indicate that the ongoing protest has been hijacked by criminal elements who have resorted to looting of shops and destruction of private and public property.
“In view of this unfortunate development, the Kaduna State Security Council has unanimously resolved to impose a 24-hour curfew on Kaduna and Zaria Metropolises and environs with immediate effect.”
“Monitoring will be sustained for review of the curfew as required.”
The statement stated that individuals should remain indoors as security forces strive to protect safety and security of the people.
