Govt relaxes night-time curfew in Kaduna to
10pm-5am
The Kaduna State Government has relaxed the night-time curfew in
Kaduna metropolis and environs with immediate effect. Residents are
henceforth free to move and pursue legitimate activities everyday,
until the hours between 10pm and 5am.
A meeting of the core security team today reviewed the security
situation, and advised the government that a relaxation of the
curfew hours is prudent. The government has therefore accepted the
recommendation to shift the start of curfew time to 10pm. This
acknowledges welcome improvements in the overall situation, and
will also enable a resurgence of the night economy.
However, the security review advised that curfew hours in Kachia
local government area will remain from 5pm to 6am, until further
notice.
The security agencies will continue to strictly enforce the
declared curfew hours.
The Kaduna State Government commends residents for the growing
atmosphere of calm, and appeals for further efforts and unceasing
vigilance in the cause of peace.
