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 bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
