The Kaduna state government has declared 24 hour curfew in the state, following the violence that erupted from a protest in Kaduna on Monday.

The state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, who disclosed this in a statement released on Monday, raised concerns that the protest has been hijacked by criminals.

The statement read, “The Kaduna State Security Council under the leadership of Governor Uba Sani, following a review of the security situation in the State, hereby notifies citizens of the following:

“There is sufficient evidence to clearly indicate that the ongoing protest has been hijacked by criminal elements who have resorted to looting of shops and destruction of private and public property.

” In view of this unfortunate development, the Kaduna State Security Council has unanimously resolved to impose a 24-hour curfew on Kaduna and Zaria Metropolises and environs with immediate effect.
