Govt Impose 24-hour Curfew As Rioting Increases In Kaduna Communities

The Kaduna State Security Council, headed by Governor Uba Sani, has promptly enforced a 24-hour curfew on the towns of Kaduna and Zaria, as well as the surrounding areas.

This decision followed a review of the security situation in the state, which revealed that the ongoing protests have been hijacked by criminal elements engaging in looting and the destruction of private and public property.

In a statement on Monday, the overseeing Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, advised citizens to remain indoors while security forces work to maintain safety and security.

He said the curfew would be reviewed as necessary.

The government urged citizens to cooperate with the security forces and report suspicious activities.
