The Kaduna State Government on Saturday lifted the curfew imposed on Sabon Garin Nasarawa-Tirkaniya in Chikun Local Government Area of the state since last Monday.
The PUNCH reports that the state government had imposed a 24-hour curfew following the clash between local hunters and some gangsters of Sabon Garin-Tirkaniya area of Chikun LGA of the state resulting in the death of two citizens of the state between Sunday night and Monday.
The state government later relaxed the curfew on the areas to 12-hour,saying it would be in place from 7pm to 7am instead of the 24 hours.
However, the state government on Saturday quashed the curfew, saying that the military and the police would continue to patrol the areas to ensure normalcy returned to the troubled areas.
A statement by the state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, urged residents to go about their normal daily activities.
He said, “The 12-hour curfew imposed on Sabon Garin Nasarawa-Tirkaniya in Chikun LGA has been removed, effective today Saturday 8th April 2023.
“The military and police will continue to carry out patrols in the locations, as residents of the area may now go about their lawful activities.
