Kaduna Streets Deserted as Security Operatives Enforce Curfew with Armoured Tank

August 6, 2024

Kaduna, Nigeria — The streets of Kaduna, the capital city of Kaduna State, have transformed into an eerie silence as security operatives diligently enforce a 24-hour curfew imposed by the state government. The once bustling thoroughfares now lie deserted, with only a few brave souls venturing out.

In a powerful display of authority, security personnel patrol the city on foot, their presence amplified by the imposing silhouette of an armoured tank. Businesses have been forced to shutter their doors, and the usual hustle and bustle has given way to an atmosphere of caution and restraint.

The measure comes in response to recent protests that have been infiltrated by criminal elements, leading to widespread looting and property destruction. The situation escalated to a point where the state government had no choice but to take decisive action.

Samuel Aruwan, the overseeing Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, issued a stern statement urging citizens to remain indoors while security forces work tirelessly to maintain safety and security. The curfew, though stringent, is a necessary step to restore order and protect lives and property.

As the sun sets over Kaduna, the armoured tank rumbles through the empty streets, a symbol of both protection and vigilance. The security operatives remain steadfast, their commitment unwavering, as they ensure compliance with the curfew regulations.

The curfew remains in effect, subject to review as circumstances evolve. Citizens are urged to cooperate, stay safe, and contribute to restoring normalcy in this troubled time.

Stay informed. Stay safe.
