The Chairman of Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, Abubakar Danladi, has imposed a night curfew across the council in response to lingering security threats following the February 3 attack on Woro and Nuku communities. With the curfew, movement across Kaiama LG will be restricted between 9:00pm and 5:30 am daily. “In response to emerging security challenges within the community, I have announced the imposition of a curfew with immediate effect. “This temporary measure is not intended to disrupt daily life but to provide security operatives with the necessary environment to effectively tackle the prevailing security threats,” he said. The curfew comes amid tension in Kaiama LGA following the invasion of Woro by gunmen who killed, abducted and set building ablaze.
