“The Kaduna State Security Council commends residents for upholding the peace, and urges residents to continue to cooperate with the security agencies,” the statement read.
Recall that curfew had been imposed on some parts of Kaduna State following the crisis that engulfed the state in the wake of the kidnap and killing of the Monarch in one of the communities.
The hours of the curfew were later restricted to night-time on October 31st 2018 following the restoration of relative peace in the areas.
