The Kaduna State Government has eased off the 24 - hour curfew on Kaduna metropolis , giving residents between 1 pm to 5 pm “to restock on essentials ” . Mr Samuel Aruwan the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity said in a statement on Tuesday in Kaduna, made available to News Agency of Nigeria. Aruwan however said that the window did not include residents of Kabala West , Kabala Doki , Sabon - Tasha, Narayi and Maraban Rido where the 24 - hour curfew still remains in place. According to him, the decision was the outcome of the State Security Council meeting held on Tuesday . He disclosed that the security council has also relaxed the curfew on Kasuwan Magani and Kujama situated about 50 kilometres from Kaduna , allowing movement between 6 am and 5 pm . “ The curfew in Kasuwan Magani and Kujama remains but will now be enforced from dusk to dawn – from 5 pm in the evening to 6 am in the morning , till further notice. “ The State Security Council determined that threats continue in Kabala West, Kabala Doki , Sabon - Tasha, Narayi and Maraban Rido within Kaduna metropolis , where attacks on places of worship were either attempted overnight or contemplated . “ Therefore, the Security Council has decided that the 24 - hour curfew should remain in these places, and will be vigorously enforced . “ Any individual that violates it will be arrested, and the security agencies have been directed to engage any hoodlum or unauthorized groups with appropriate force . “ For the rest of Kaduna metropolis, the Security Council has noted an improvement in the security situation , and therefore decided that a window be provided for residents to be able to restock on essentials. “Therefore , the curfew in the rest of Kaduna Metropolis is relaxed from 1 pm to 5 pm today to enable all markets , shops and businesses to open and operate . “ Also Security agents will patrol and protect the markets to ensure safety and deal with any attempt by hoodlums to engage in criminal conduct . “ The 24 - hour curfew in Kaduna Metropolis will be reimposed from 5 pm today , and until further notice,” he stated . Aruwan added that the security council regrets the inconvenience caused by the action to residents , but stressed that it was in line with the obligations on government to secure the lives and property of residents . “ Government will continue to monitor the situation , and make further announcements based on the guidance of the security agencies ,” he said . |
