The Kaduna State Government, on Thursday evening, relaxed the 24-hour curfew in Jema’a and Kaura local government areas.
A government statement issued by Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Samuel Aruwan, said the curfew will now be enforced only between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. daily.
This followed an assessment by the security agencies, who requested the relaxation of the curfew.
The government announcement added that the relaxed curfew will also assist the engagement between community leaders in the area and the security agencies.
“This is part of the measures being pursued to stabilise the area and further peace-building.
“The relaxation of the curfew becomes effective immediately,” the statement added.
