#Endbadgovernance Protest: Kaduna and Zaria Metropolis Are Subject To A 24-Hour Curfew By The Govt

With immediate effect, the metropolitan areas of Kaduna and Zaria are under a 24-hour curfew enforced by the Kaduna State administration.

Following an evaluation of the state’s security situation by Governor Uba Sani, the decision was made during an emergency security council meeting.

Samuel Aruwan, the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, stated in a statement that the curfew was implemented because criminal elements had taken over the demonstration and were looting stores and destroying both public and private property in the state.

While security personnel continued to preserve safety and order, the statement advised the public to stay indoors.

This is because curfews have also been implemented in the states of Plateau and Katsina as a result of violent protests.

Caleb Mutfwang, the governor of Plateau State, said that the city of Jos-Bukuru will be under a 24-hour curfew, beginning at midnight on Sunday, August 4, 2024.

The curfew in Dutsinma Local Government Area and the twelve-hour period from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am in the remaining 33 LGAs of the state, according to the Katsina Police Command on Monday, remains in place.
