Nationwide Protests: 25 persons arrested in Kaduna as Gov. Sani confirms no curfew
Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has dismissed the widespread rumor that curfew was imposed on the state following the spate of violence occasioned by the ongoing hunger protest in Nigeria.
On Thursday, Governor Sani assured residents that the “situation is under control in the Kaduna State”.
“No curfew has been imposed in Kaduna as we speak, everything is under control.” the governor stated.
Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Police Command has arrested 25 suspects who were involved in attacking State-owned agencies in Kaduna State.
