The Sanga Local Government Council of Kaduna State on Sunday relaxed the 24-hour curfew imposed in the area by 10 hours.

NAN recalls that a 24-hour curfew was imposed in parts of the local government on June 25, following attacks by suspected gunmen in Ankpon and Kabamu villages.

The attacks claimed several lives and property.

Emmanuel Adamu, the Chairman of the council, told NAN that residents would now resume their normal socio-economic activities from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. until further developments.

He advised the public against acts capable of breaching peace, adding that they report any suspected person or group to security agencies.

NAN checks confirmed that normalcy had been restored in the affected areas as residents were seen conducting their businesses.
