BREAKING! El-Rufai impose 24-hour curfew in Southern Kaduna towns

A 24-hour curfew has been imposed by the Governor Nasir El Rufai-led Kaduna State Security Council in Jema’a and Kaura Local Government Areas of Kaduna State with immediate effect.

In a statement signed by Samuel Aruwan, Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity on Tuesday said imposing a curfew in the affected LGAs became necessary to protect lives and properties and to avoid the further breakdown of law and order.

He said all security agencies on a special operation in the two Local Government Areas have been directed to ensure strict compliance. “Only essential workers and those on humanitarian services are allowed movement after due clearance by security agencies,” Aruwan added.
