A statement by Samuel Aruwan, Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, said the areas affected are Barnawa, Kakuri, and Television in Kaduna South Local Government Area, as well as Maraban Rido, Sabon Tasha, Narayi and Ungwan Romi of Chikun Local Government Area.
He said security agencies have been directed to arrest and prosecute any found violating the curfew and those responsible for breakdown of law and order.
“Security agencies have further been directed to effect the arrest and prosecution of anyone found looting and destroying properties.
