The Governor of Abia state, Okezie Ikpeazu, has further extended the curfew in Aba to Sunday.

On Tuesday, the governor had declared a three-day curfew following the clash between members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Nigerian army.

The curfew which was later extended to Friday would now end on Sunday.

In a statement released on Friday by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor , Enyinnaya Appolos, Ikpeazu said the curfew was again extended after reviewing the security situation in the state.

He further directed that schools be reopened on September 25 to ensure the safety of students across the state.

“After a profound review of the security situation across the state, we are compelled to extend the current curfew imposed on Aba to enable us consolidate the peace and normalcy that is gradually returning to the city.

“The government is, therefore, seeking your continuing support and understanding for the further extension of the dusk to dawn (6 pm to 6 am) curfew at Aba to Sunday 17th of September 2017.

“For a commercial city that is also the economic hub of the state and the Southeast region, the effect of the socioeconomic disruption at Aba is too massive to measure at this time and the government fully appreciates all the sacrifices made to ensure early restoration of normalcy.

“We also wish to commend the efforts of the men and women of the security services currently working round the clock to restore law and order and safeguard lives and properties of law abiding citizens and residents.” the statement read.
