Kwara State Government has relaxed the curfew it imposed on the state 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.
This followed a security council meeting the State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq held on Sunday evening with heads of the security agencies in the state.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, on Sunday evening said: “A review of the situation in the Ilorin metropolis suggested a relative calm. The meeting observed that the objective of the curfew had 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.”
