Fayose lifts curfew on Ado-Ekiti
(Nigeria) Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State on Sunday
lifted the dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed on Ado-Ekiti on May 22, following a
civil disturbance.
The governor stated this in his broadcast to the people of
the state in Ado-Ekiti.
He described the crisis between the Hausa community and
commercial drivers in Ado-Ekiti that led to the imposition of the curfew as
unfortunate.
He urged residents to be law abiding and conduct their
activities in manner that would not cause further break down of law and order.
Fayose said that the state government lifted the curfew
after security agents had restored peace in the state.
He expressed regret for the inconveniences the curfew might
have caused the residents of the town.
He said the state government had also placed N2
million-ransom for anybody that could provide information which could
facilitate the arrest of those that kidnapped 11 people in different parts of
the state recently.
He said that kidnapping was strange to state warning that the
state government would fight it.
