The Kaduna State Government has
relaxed the 24-hour curfew on Kachia.
Recall that the Kaduna State
Government on Friday reinstated another 24-hour curfew on Kaduna metropolis and
environs, Kasuwan Magani, Kajuru, Kateri and Kachia.
Mr Samuel Aruwan, the Senior
Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity, said in a statement
on Saturday in Kaduna.
Aruwan said the State’s Security
Council noted with gratitude the exemplary conduct of the people of Kachia, who
remained peaceful while mourning the loss of a much-revered monarch.
He stated that in recognition of
this positive contribution to harmony, the Security Council directed that the
curfew in Kachia be relaxed immediately today, Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018.
He added that “residents of
Kachia are free to go about their legitimate businesses from now till 5 p.m.
today (Saturday).
“Also From tomorrow, Sunday, Oct.
28, 2018, Kachia residents are also free to move from 6 a.m. till 5 p.m.
“The Security Council advises
residents of Kaduna to continue to comply with curfew hours.
“The state government warns that
only persons involved in delivering essential services will be permitted free
passage, as curfew violation is crime that will earn arrest and prosecution.”
While giving update on security
situation in the state, Aruwan said a select committee of the Kaduna State
Security Council met this morning.
The heads of the security
agencies in Kaduna State and senior government officials, led by Gov. Nasir
El-Rufai, reviewed the security situation in the state and sympathised with
residents on the inconvenience associated with the curfew, saying it was
imposed to save lives “and is under constant review.”
NAN reports that the security
Council noted the substantial compliance with the curfew by residents and
welcomed the atmosphere of calm largely prevailing in the areas under curfew,
as well as across the state, he added.
He noted that the Security
Council commended residents for refusing to allow criminal elements to divide
communities, and urged Kaduna residents to continue to cooperate with security
agencies.
