JUST-IN: Kaduna Govt Imposes 24-hour Curfew Over Violence

The Kaduna State Government, on Monday, announced the immediate imposition of 24-hour curfew on Sabon Garin Nassarawa-Tirkaniya area of Chikun local government area of the State.

In a terse statement issued by the Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, he said the decision was reached following a breakdown of law and order which led to the killing of two citizens in an incident of urban gang violence.

“Security agencies have been directed to enforce the curfew in the said location, to restore order as investigations proceed. Citizens are therefore urged to strictly observe the curfew in this location, which takes effect immediately.

“Further updates will be communicated accordingly,” Aruwan stated.
