The Kaduna State government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the Kaura and Jema’a Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.
This comes hours after bandits attacked Kagoro Chiefdom in Kaura LGA, killing at least 13 villagers while several properties were destroyed.
Mr Samuel Aruwan, the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, announced this in a statement on Monday.
The explanation offered was that that is to assist the security agencies to stabilise the situation in the areas, save lives and property, and enable the restoration of law and order.

The commissioner condemned the violence and all acts of lawlessness that have occurred in the area, saying the government has given the security agencies full authorisation to enforce the curfew.
He called on residents in the affected local government areas to cooperate with the security agencies in a bid to restore peace and uphold law and order in the areas.
