Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-rufai has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the Sabon Garin Nassarawa area of the Chikun Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
The state’s commissioner for internal security and home affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said the decision was taken as a result of the breakdown in law and order that resulted in the deaths of two individuals in the area.
“The Kaduna State Government hereby announces the immediate imposition of a 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,” Aruwan said In a terse statement.
Many Nigerians have condemned the unending killings in Southern Kaduna.
An attack by bandits led to the death of about 28 residents on Sunday, December 18.
In the attack, the bandits also razed houses at Malagum and Kagoro communities in Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
