Residents of Kaduna State on Thursday morning recounted their experiences after the state government reviewed the 24-hour curfew, which now runs from 6 pm to 8 am.
Residents said the 24-hour lockdown served as a serious lesson, stressing the importance of imparting this knowledge to their children to prevent future occurrences.
Recall that following the hunger protest, which was hijacked by criminals who destroyed government property and looted individual shops, the state government imposed a 24-hour curfew on Zaria and Kaduna.
The curfew lasted for two days. During this period, hunger worsened as businesses were paralysed and security operatives enforced the curfew.
On Tuesday night, the state government reviewed the curfew, allowing residents to search for means of livelihood.
