The Kaduna State Government has lifted the curfew in Kaduna metropolis and environs, with immediate effect, almost two weeks since it had been imposed to stem further aggravation of violence in the state.
According to a statement by Samuel Aruwan, Senior Special Assistant to Governor Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai on Media and Publicity, residents are now free to go about their legitimate business at anytime of the day.
“However, a security review has determined that curfew hours be retained in Kujama, Kasuwan Magani and Kachia towns in the state.
Nighttime curfew in Kachia is from 1 Opm to 6am. For Kasuwan Magani and Kujama the curfew remains from 5pm to 6am.
“The Kaduna State Security Council commends residents for upholding the peace, and urges residents to continue to cooperate with the security agencies,” the statement read.
