The Kwara government has relaxed the curfew in the state from 24 hours to 10 hours daily till further notice.
This follows a council meeting Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq held with heads of the security agencies in the state on Sunday evening.
According to statement by Rafiu Ajakaye, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, a review of the situation in the ilorin metropolis suggested a relative calm.
“The meeting observed that the objective of the curfew has largely been achieved as the misguided elements who looted and vandalised public and private properties have been pushed back and normalcy restored.
“Consequently, the security council resolved to relax the curfew from 24 hours to between 6p.m. and 8 a.m. daily until further notice. This means members of the public can move around between 8 a.m. and 6p.m. daily within the metropolis.
“Even so, the government will continue to review the situation and take decisions that are in the best interest of the state,” it stated.
