Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has relaxed the earlier imposed 24-hour curfew on Ilorin, after a meeting with heads of security agencies on Sunday night.
The curfew would now be from 6p.m. to 8a.m. daily. Recall earlier, the State Governor declared the curfew in Ilorin metropolis following violent attacks and looting of both public and private concerns on Friday by hoodlums.
In a statement, the governor’s spokesperson, Rafiu Ajakaye, said: “A review of the situation in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, suggested a relative calm.
“The meeting observed that the objective of the curfew has largely been achieved as the misguided elements, who looted and vandalised public and private properties have been pushed back and normalcy restored.
“Consequently, the security council resolved to relax the curfew from 24 hours to between 6p.m. and 8 a.m. daily until further notice. This means members of the public can move around between 8 a.m. and 6p.m daily within the metropolis.”
