The Chairman of Kaiama Local Government in Kwara State has imposed a night curfew as a response to ongoing security threats following recent attacks on local communities.
Abubakar Danladi, the Chairman of Kaiama Local Government Area in Kwara State, has imposed a night curfew in response to recent security threats that have arisen following an attack on the Woro and Nuku communities earlier this month. This curfew will restrict movement within the area daily from 9:00 PM to 5:30 AM, aiming to enhance security and maintain law and order in the local government area.
The announcement was made public through a statement on Friday, where Danladi noted that the decision came after a thorough consultation process involving security agencies and local community leaders. Recognizing the need for a decisive response to the emerging security challenges, he described the curfew as a proactive measure to safeguard the lives and properties of the residents of Kaiama LG.
This action represents an important local governance response to a critical security situation in the region, highlighting the role of community leaders in ensuring public safety. As the situation develops, the effectiveness of this curfew in deterring further violence and restoring a sense of security among the population will be closely monitored by both local authorities and residents alike.
