Kaduna State Government Eases 24-Hour Curfew Amid Improved Security

Following a review of the security situation, the Kaduna State Government has decided to ease the 24-hour curfew, providing relief to citizens who have been under restrictions since August 4, 2024.

State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, announced on Wednesday night that the curfew will now be in effect from 6 pm to 8 am daily, allowing citizens to move freely and carry out their legitimate activities during the day.

“Governor Uba Sani-led Security Council decided to relax the curfew after noting improved security conditions in Kaduna and Zaria towns and their environs,” Aruwan stated.

He emphasized that security forces will continue to enforce the curfew during the restricted hours and will take decisive action against any activities that may lead to a breakdown of law and order.

The relaxed curfew takes effect from Thursday, August 8, 2024. The State Security Council reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining peace and security in the state and pledged to take all necessary steps to preserve them.
