“The revised curfew will now be from dusk to dawn in Sokoto township. This is with a view to afford people the window to pursue their legitimate businesses and other means of livelihood.
“The Government, however, advised people to maintain peace in this regard, as it will not condone any breach of law and order in the State”.
