PROTESTS : Jigawa State Govt Confirms 24-hour Curfew
On Friday, Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi declared a 24-hour curfew in response to the surge in violence on the first day of nationwide protests.
In a broadcast address, the governor expressed regret over the situation in the state.
However, he later relaxed the curfew for 2.5 hours to allow Muslims to attend Friday’s Juma’a prayer at the mosque, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
“To ensure the return of peace and stability, we announced the 24-hour curfew.
“However, for Friday, the curfew will be relaxed between noon and 2:30 p.m. to allow people to attend Friday prayer in the mosque.
“The situation in which the peaceful demonstration turned violent, characterised by destruction and looting, is totally unaccepted, and it is not in our culture; therefore, we will not allow it to continue unabated.
“Together with security agencies, we will continue to study the situation and take appropriate action to safeguard the lives and property of the people against miscreants and hoodlums across the state,” Namadi said. (NAN)
