Following the abduction of a yet to be identified number of students, the Zamfara State Government has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew throughout the 14 local government areas in the state.
The government has also shut down schools, both private and public, operating in all the local governments in the state.
The measure came on the heels of the bandits’ invasion of Kaya town in Maradun Local Area of the state on Wednesday morning and the abduction of pupils from the Government Day Secondary School, Kaya.
Maradun Local Government Area is where the governor, Bello Matawalle, hails from.
TVC News reports that the curfew is from eight o’clock in the evening to seven o’clock in the morning
The move, according to authorities, is to control the rising cases of banditry and kidnapping in the state.
