The Kaduna state government has relaxed the curfew in Kaduna metropolis and environs after considerable peace has returned to the city.

Samuel Aruwan, senior special assistant to the governor on media and publicity, said this in a statement on Sunday in Kaduna.

Aruwan said residents could now move around until 5pm, adding that the prevailing peace had encouraged the authority to relax the curfew on Monday between 6am and 5pm.

He said banks and markets should use the period to open for customers, adding that sustained calm was required to call off the curfew.
