The Kaduna State Security Council, led by Governor Uba Sani, has lifted the curfew imposed from 6 pm to 8 am in Zaria and Kaduna towns, effective immediately. The decision was announced by Samuel Aruwan, the Commissioner for the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, following a thorough review of the security situation in the metropolitan areas.
The lifting of the curfew aims to restore normalcy in the state after recent unrest and protests. While the curfew has been completely removed, residents are cautioned to avoid unapproved public gatherings and processions. Security forces will remain on high alert to maintain peace and order.
The curfew, which previously restricted movement between 6 pm and 8 am, has been lifted due to improved security conditions in the affected areas. The Kaduna State Government has expressed confidence in the ability of security agencies to protect lives and property, allowing for a return to regular activities.
Residents are advised to cooperate with security personnel and report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities. The government remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all citizens in Kaduna State
