The Kaduna State governor has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Kaduna and Zaria metropolitan cities amid the ongoing protest against hunger.

The government stated that the protest had been hijacked by criminals who were looting and destroying properties.

The Overseeing Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, in a statement on Monday, said, “The Kaduna State Security Council under the leadership of Governor Uba Sani, following a review of the security situation in the state, noted that there is sufficient evidence to clearly indicate that the ongoing protest has been hijacked by criminal elements who have resorted to looting of shops and destruction of private and public property.

“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.”


The statement explained that citizens are advised to remain indoors while security forces continue to work to maintain safety and security.

“Monitoring will be sustained for review of the curfew as required,” the statement added.
