The Kaduna State Government has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on the troubled Kajuru Local Government Area.

This was disclosed in a statement by Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s spokesperson, Samuel Aruwan.

Aruwan said the curfew would be from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily until further notice.

The government has also directed security agencies to ensure strict enforcement of the curfew.
