The Kaduna State Government has announced the imposition of a 24-hour curfew in Atyap Chiefdom of Zangon Kataf Local Government and Chawai Chiefdom in Kauru local government.
This 24-hour curfew takes effect immediately, according to a statement by the Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan.
Security agencies are containing the tensions arising from a clash last week over a farmland in Zangon-Kataf that community leaders tried to resolve but which seems to have escalated.
Dateline Nigeria reports that violence erupted in the area after a farmer’s headless body was found hours after he was declared missing.
