The Kaduna State Government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Kajuru Local Government Area.

The curfew follows a rumour that a new crisis is imminent in the Kasuwan Magani community, one of the conflict-prone areas in the council. The community has been outraged by the killing of two aid workers, including a British national, in Kaduna last week.

Kajuru and other parts of Southern Kaduna have witnessed attacks and retaliatory attacks by various communities.

The conflict, which usually takes ethnic and religious dimensions, has led to the death of scores of people in the past few months.
