Curfew Returns to Borno As Bomber Kills 16 --- Police

The police on Friday imposed a 24-hour curfew across Borno State in response to the suicide attack in the Kawuri village, Konduga Local Government Area that killed 16 people and injured 20 others.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Nahum Daso, made this known in a statement on Friday 

He added that the decision was taken based on the bomb attack that killed many Maiduguri innocent citizens.

Nahum said the decision was taken after consultations between Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, and heads of security agencies in the state in order to forestall further security breaches.

“The curfew is a measure to prevent further loss of lives and property and to allow security agencies to maintain control and ensure public safety.

“Residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid any unnecessary movements during the curfew period,” he said.

He urged the people of the state to remain calm and law-abiding, assuring them that further developments would be communicated accordingly.
