The Kaduna State government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Sabon Garin Nasarawa-Tirkaniya, a surbub within Kaduna metropolis, located in Chikun Local Government Area.
The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, made this known in a statement on Monday in Kaduna.
He said the curfew was imposed in the area following a breakdown of law and order, which led to the killing of two people in a clash by two gang groups.
Aruwan said security agencies had been directed to enforce the curfew in the area to restore order as investigations were ongoing.
The statement read: “The Kaduna State Government hereby announces the immediate imposition of 24-hour curfew on Sabon Garin Nassarawa-Tirkaniya area of Chikun LGA of the state.
“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.”
