#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria: GOVT IMPOSES 24-HOUR CURFEW ON KADUNA, ZARIA METROPOLIS
The Kaduna State government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Kaduna and Zaria metropolitan cities with immediate effect.
The decision was taken after an emergency security council meeting presided by Governor Uba Sani, to review the security situation in the state.
According to a statement by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, the reason for the curfew is that the ongoing protest has been hijacked by criminal elements who have resorted to looting shops, and destruction of private and public property in the state.
It was also gathered that some criminals burgled fidelity and UBA banks along bye pass.
The statement warned citizens to remain indoors while security forces continued to work to maintain safety and order.
This is as Plateau and Katsina states have also imposed curfews following violent protests in the states.
