Army imposes dusk-to-dawn curfew on Maiduguri

The Nigerian Army has reviewed the curfew in Maiduguri, the capital of the troubled Borno State.

In a press statement by the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Usman, the curfew hours on the town is now 7pm to 6am.

The curfew formerly on the town was from 9pm to 6am daily and the additional two hours was handed down due to the deteriorating security situation in the state, especially as a result of an increase in the number of attacks on some towns.

Usman in the statement said no one was exempted from the curfew.

“All must comply with the directive and anyone found flouting this directive will be arrested and prosecuted,” he said.
