Just In: Kaduna Govt Imposes 24-hour Curfew On Kaduna and Zaria Metropolis

As the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria enters day-5, the Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani  has imposed a 24 hours curfew on Kaduna and Zaria metropolitan cities.

Recall that the protests in kaduna were reportedly hijacked by hoodlums on the first. The hoodlums looted government and private buildings as they took to the streets to demand an end to bad governance and economic hardship.

However, the Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, in a statement on Monday, disclosed that the Governor’s decision was for the protection of the people of the state.

“In view of this unfortunate development, the Kaduna State Security Council has unanimously resolved to impose a 24-hour curfew on Kaduna and Zaria Metropolises and environs with immediate effect.”
