The Kaduna State Security Council, led by Governor Uba Sani, has relaxed the 24-hour curfew imposed on Monday, August 4.
According to a statement by Commissioner Samuel Aruwan of the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, the decision was made after a thorough review of the security situation in Kaduna and Zaria towns and environs.
“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 said.
The commissioner added, “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.”
Aruwan further stated, “Furthermore, the security forces will continue to vigorously enforce the curfew from 6pm to 8am and will be decisive in confronting actions which may lead to a breakdown of law and order during periods of movement as well as restriction.”
The new curfew schedule took effect from Thursday, August 8.
