Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni has approved a review of the night curfew restricting human and vehicular movements across the state.
In a statement signed on Monday by Brig. Gen. Dahiru Abdulsalam (rtd.), Special Adviser to the Executive Governor on Security Affairs, indicated that the approval followed an improvement in the security situation in the state.
“The new curfew time will now commence from 12.00 midnight against the usual 11.00pm to 6.00am”, the statement disclosed.
It, however, noted that the review does not affect movements from one local government to another.
Meanwhile, the statement added that the existing restriction of movement through security checkpoints is still in force.
“Muslim faithful who wish to participate in the Tahajud prayer in this holy month of Ramadan are free to do so”.
The state government advised security agencies to take note and adhere to the new change.
