The Kaduna State Government has announced a relaxation of the 24-hour curfew imposed on Kaduna and Zaria cities earlier this week.

The decision follows a comprehensive review of the security situation by the Kaduna State Security Council, led by Governor Uba Sani.

In a statement released on Wednesday by Mr. Samuel Aruwan, the Overseeing Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, the curfew will now be in effect from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. daily, starting Thursday, August 8.

“The Kaduna State Security Council, after a thorough review of the security situation in Kaduna and Zaria towns and environs, has unanimously agreed to relax the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed on Monday,” Aruwan said.

“By this review, the curfew will now be in effect from 6pm to 8am daily.

“This implies that citizens may move freely and carry out their legitimate activities between 8am and 6pm, and will revert to the curfew from 6pm to 8am.”

Aruwan emphasized the government’s unwavering commitment to maintaining peace and security across the state, noting that security forces will continue to enforce the curfew rigorously during the restricted hours.

”They will be decisive in confronting actions which may lead to a breakdown of law and order during the periods of movement as well as restriction.
