Army Pose 24-hr Curfew Imposed On Parts Of Maiduguri


Nigeria’s military on Saturday imposed a round-the-clock curfew in parts of Maiduguri, the home base of Boko Haram Islamists, as a massive offensive against the insurgents presses on across the region.

“In order to sustain special operations in the face of recent Boko Haram attacks, (a) 24-hour curfew is hereby imposed in the following wards” of Maiduguri, a military statement said, listing 12 neighbourhoods considered Boko Haram strongholds.

Remark:
Indeed, continuous luck is what i wish the soldiers who are putting their lives on the line to remedy this situation. I just hope and pray that innocent civilians are kept outta harms way. 24hrs curfew is no joke, more especially for the poor who feed from hand to mouth. I witnessed a dusk to dawn curfew few years back in my home town in Kogi, and i must say, the experience was'nt sweet at all. But if that is what is needed to restore peace and civil order, so be it.
