Please announce an immediate curfew in Kaduna state @ubasanius 🙏🏿🙏🏿

Wallahi, this is a sponsored protest, and it has completely undermined its original purpose.

Kaduna State Security Council Imposes 24 hour curfew on Kaduna and Zaria Metropolitan Cities

The Kaduna State Security Council under the leadership of Governor Uba Sani, following a review of the security situation in the State, hereby notifies citizens of the following:

1. There is sufficient evidence to clearly indicate that the ongoing protest has been hijacked by criminal elements who have resorted to looting of shops and destruction of private and public property.

2. In view of this unfortunate development, the Kaduna State Security Council has unanimously resolved to impose a 24-hour curfew on Kaduna and Zaria Metropolises and environs with immediate effect.

3. Citizens are advised to remain indoors while security forces continue to work to maintain safety and security.

4. Monitoring will be sustained for review of the curfew as required.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs @NigeriaMFA Issues Travel Alert to Nigerian Citizens Planning to travel to the United kingdom

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja
PRESS RELEASE
No: MFA/PR/2024/14

TRAVEL ALERT

THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ISSUES THE FOLLOWING TRAVEL ALERT TO CITIZENS PLANNING TO VISIT THE UNITED KINGDOM.

There is an increased risk of violence and disorder occasioned by the recent riots in the UK, stemming from the killing of 3 young girls at a concert.

The violence has assumed dangerous proportions as evidenced by reported attacks on Law enforcement agents and damage to infrastructure.

To this end, citizens are advised to be extra vigilant and take measures as follows:

• Avoid political processions and protests, rallies or marches

• Avoid crowded areas and large gatherings

• Be vigilant and self aware at all times

• Contact the High Commission with a view to passing information that could be of interest via e-mail and telephone hc@nigeriahc.org.uk, +442078391244.

Background:
Demonstrations by far right and other extra-parliamentary groups in parts of the UK in recent weeks have been large, and in some instances unruly.

These disturbances have only been aggravated by the unfortunate deaths of the 3 girls and it has spawned an anti-immigration narrative, With particular emphasis on Muslim immigrants or persons of colour being targeted.

This advisory remains under review.
