Katsina Government Lifts Curfew After #EndBadGovernance Protest
The Katsina State government has announced the lifting of the curfew that was previously imposed in response to the #EndBadGovernance protests, which had been marred by vandalism and destruction of public property.
This decision was communicated by Mr. Abdullahi Aliyu-Yar’adua, the Director of Press in the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, in a statement released on Tuesday in Katsina.
According to the statement, the acting governor, Malam Faruk Lawal-Jobe, has decided to remove the curfew effective immediately due to the current state of peace and order observed throughout the region.
This measure is intended to allow residents to resume their daily activities and conduct their business without any restrictions or hindrance.
The government has urged all citizens to remain vigilant and report any unusual or suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities to ensure timely intervention. This call for vigilance underscores the administration’s commitment to addressing and mitigating security issues within the state.
In his statement, the acting governor extended his gratitude to the security personnel and the residents for their cooperation and support during the curfew period. He emphasized the importance of continued support, cooperation, and prayers from the public to foster a stable and secure environment.
The acting governor highlighted that meaningful progress and development can only occur in an atmosphere of safety and stability, reinforcing the need for ongoing community involvement in maintaining peace.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
