Kaduna govt debunks rumour of curfew

Kaduna State governor Uba Sani

The Kaduna State Government has denied reports of a dusk-to-dawn curfew being imposed in some parts of the metropolis.

According to the Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr. James Kanyip, in a statement on Tuesday, the rumour of a curfew in the state is by mischief makers.

He said, “The state government wishes to debunk the false message going round the social media platforms on the imposition of a 24-hour curfew in Kakuri and its surroundings.”

Kanyip remarked, “These areas mentioned, i.e, Kakuri bus-stop, Kurmi Gwari, Monday market, Afaka road, Air force junction and Kakuri GRA, remain calm and peaceful with people going about their normal businesses.”

He said, “Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard the rumour being spread by mischief-makers,” pointing out that the Kaduna State Government, however, remains committed to this course.

He assured citizens that security agencies are fully on the ground to ensure the adequate protection of lives and property at all times, promoting peaceful coexistence among residents of the area.

” The general public is, therefore, enjoined to work hand-in-hand by collaborating with security agencies in reporting any strange happening within their respective domains and also avoid relying on information from unconfirmed sources for the avoidance of any untoward development,” he added.
