With immediate effect, the Kaduna State Government has imposed a 24-hour curfew in the Sabon Garin Nassarawa-Tirkaniya area of the state’s Chikun Local Government Area.
Samuel Aruwan, the state’s commissioner for internal security and home affairs, claims that the decision was made as a result of a breakdown in law and order that resulted in the deaths of two individuals in an incidence of urban gang violence.
He said, “the Kaduna state government hereby announces the immediate imposition of 24-hour curfew on Sabon Garin Nassarawa-Tirkaniya area of Chikun LGA.
“This decision was reached following a breakdown of law and order which led to the killing of two citizens in an incident of urban gang violence.
“Security agencies have been directed to enforce the curfew in the said location, to restore order as investigations proceed. Citizens are therefore urged to strictly observe the curfew in this location, which takes effect immediately.
“Further updates will be communicated accordingly.”
