The Kaduna State government has lifted the 12-hour curfew imposed on Sabon Garin Nasarawa-Tirkaniya in Chikun local government area of the State following violence which left two dead and six injured last week.
A statement issued by the Commissioner, Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said the curfew has been removed, effective from Saturday, April 8, 2023.
The statement said the military and police will continue to carry out patrols in the locations “as residents of the area may now go about their lawful activities.”
The government, however, advised citizens to steer clear of activities capable of disrupting public peace “as these will be promptly dealt with in accordance with the law.”
Recall that the Kaduna State Government had imposed curfew on the area and banned social activities linked with the violence of last Sunday night and Monday, which left two citizens dead and six others injured in Sabon Garin-Tirkaniya area of Chikun LGA.
