The Kaduna State Government has extended the 24-hour curfew imposed on two chiefdoms in Kauru and Zangon Kataf local government areas to cover the entire two councils in Southern Kaduna.
The government said the extension of the curfew imposed on Thursday was to contain the tension that erupted in a fight over a farmland in Zango-Kataf.
It was learnt that there is ownership tussle over the farmland close to the town but the murder of one Yusuf Moses, who went to farm but never returned, compounded the already tense situation in the community.
The state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, in a statement on Friday, said the 24-hour curfew had been extended to the entire two LGAs.
