The Kaduna State Government has reviewed a 24-hour curfew imposed on two out of four local government areas in the state to contain the killings in the southern part of the state.

The decision, according to the state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, was based on advice by security agencies.

The government had earlier reviewed those of Kaura and Jema’a LGs last week while that of Zango-Kataf and Kauru LGAs were kept in view.

Aruwa, in a statement on Saturday, said the 24-hour curfew in Kauru and Zango-Kataf LGAs had been reviewed to start from 6pm to 6am daily.

The statement partly read, “As efforts to diminish perils to communities and promote peace, the Kaduna State Government has accepted the recommendation to relax the curfew in Kauru and Zangon-Kataf LGAs. Curfew hours will now be from 6pm to 6am, effective from today (Saturday).
