Kalu stated that the curfew now holds from 10p.m to 6a.m as against 8p.m to 6a.m in Aba and Umuahia, the state capital, with effect from June 18.

In Ohafia, Bende, Umunneochi and Arochukwu LGAs, the curfew would now be effective from 8p.m to 6a.m as against 6p.m to 6a.m.

The commissioner noted that the relaxation of the curfew followed noticeable security improvement in the state and its neighboring states.

“Government wishes to advise citizens and residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious movements to security agents,” he stated.

He admonished residents to ensure full compliance with the new curfew regimes which, according to him, is subject to further reviews.

NAN reports that the state government imposed curfew on Aba, Umuahia, Ohafia and Arochukwu on April 6, following the escalation in security breaches in the areas.

The measure was later extended to Bende and Umunneochi LGAs in the wake of the spread in the phenomenon.

The commissioner stated that the curfew became necessary to contain the security challenges and ensure the protection of lives and property across the state. (NAN)
