Deborah: Sokoto Governor relaxes 24-hour curfew

The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has announced the review of the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed on the state following the violence that trailed the protest embarked upon by some residents of the state on Saturday.

Recall that violent protests rocked the state at the weekend after the police arrested the students who were involved in the killing and burning of their colleague, Deborah Samuel, for blaspheming Prophet Mohammed.

Governor Tambuwal had imposed a 24-hour curfew to check the violence that accompanied the protest.

In a statement signed by the state Commissioner for Information, Isah Galadanci, and made available to newsmen in the state on Monday morning, the government reviewed the curfew from 24 hours to now dusk to dawn.

This is to enable residents of the state to embark on their legitimate business in line with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The statement read, “Sequel to the briefing by the Security Heads in the State, the State Governor, Rt Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, CFR Mutawallen Sokoto, has ordered the relaxation of the 24-hour curfew in force in Sokoto metropolis.
“The revised curfew will now be from dusk to dawn in Sokoto township. This is to afford people the opportunity to pursue their legitimate businesses and other means of livelihood.
“The Government, however, advises people to maintain peace in this regard, as it will not condone any breach of law and order in the State.”
