In effort to curtail insecurity, Kaduna State government has taken two drastic measures affecting Birnin Gwari, Chikun, Giwa, Igabi and Kajuru Local Government Areas.
Samuel Aruwan, Commission for Security and Internal Affairs in the State relayed the decision to public on Monday.
“After a thorough review of the security situation and recommendations put forward by the security agencies, the Kaduna State Government wishes to announce the suspension of all weekly markets in Birnin Gwari, Igabi, Giwa, Chikun and Kajuru local government areas with immediate effect,” Aruwan said in a statement.
“The government has also banned the selling of petrol in jerrycans within and outside premises of petrol stations in the five local government areas listed, with immediate effect,” he added.
