The Zamfara State Government just announced that there will be restricted movement along the state’s borders with Katsina and Sokoto from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am.
Manir Haidara, the Commissioner for Information and Culture, shared with reporters in Gusau on Tuesday that the directive was a result of the State Security Council Meeting decision.
“As from today, the state government has ordered restriction of movement along Yankara border of Zamfara with Katsina state and Bimasa Zamfara border with Sokoto state from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am daily.
“This is to tackle the incessant kidnapping of travellers along the Sokoto-Gusau-Funtua highway.
“This is part of the state government’s measures to reduce and address kidnapping activities by bandits, especially along highways in the state,” he said.
