This was contained in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Isah Bajini, and made available to the Nigerian Tribune on Monday.
The statement noted that “Sequel to the briefing by the security heads in the state, the State Governor, Rt Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has ordered the relaxation of the 24-hour curfew in force in Sokoto metropolis
“The revised curfew will now be from dusk to dawn in Sokoto township. This is with a view to affording people the window to pursue their legitimate businesses and other means of livelihood.”
