“To ensure the return of peace and stability, we announced the 24-hour curfew.“However, for Friday the curfew will be relaxed between noon and 2:30 pm to allow people to attend Friday prayer in the Mosque.
“The situation in which the peaceful demonstration turned violent characterised by destruction and looting is totally unaccepted and it is not in our culture, therefore, we will not be allowed it to continue unabated.
“Together with security agencies, we will continue to study the situation and take appropriate action to safeguard the lives and property of the people against miscreants and hoodlums across the state,” Namadi said.
