26th October 2018 and will remain in force until further notice

” This is a necessary step to help maintain peace as we mourn
the death of HRH Agom Adara, who we lost in the early hours of
today to the criminals who abducted him last week.

” The Kaduna State Government calls for calm in all our
communities. The criminal elements who perpetrated this crime
should not be allowed to divide us.

“This is a struggle between good, decent, law-abiding people
trying to uphold the peace and criminals who want to divide and
destroy. It is not a struggle between religious or ethnic groups.
Let no criminal find succour in faith or tribe.

” Let us unite against every criminal activity. Let us stand
together as human beings who have a right to live in peace.” He
