Borno State Security Council has reviewed the ongoing curfew imposed to prevent infiltration of Boko Haram/ISWAP elements following credible intelligence sources and an IED attack on Kawuri village Wednesday and parts of Maiduguri on Thursday that claimed several lives and many injured.
The curfew will also continue from 3:00 p.m. on Friday to 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, after which people are expected to go about their normal business.
According to the statement released Friday morning, the review indicates that the 3 hour window is to allow the Muslim faithful to observe Friday prayers.
The statement also urges the general public to observe their Juma’at prayers within their communities as the government closely monitors the situation.
However, the curfew will continue from 3:00 p.m. on Friday to 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, after which people are expected to go about their normal business.
