Following the current communal clash between Share and Tsaragi Communities, the Kwara State Government hereby imposes a 24hr curfew in both communities, effective immediately.

The Kwara State Government warns that anyone found with illegals arms and ammunition or otherwise found disrupting peace and public order in both communities will be dealt with in line with the laws of the land.

While other Security agencies, particularly the police, State Security Services and Civil Defence are already on ground, a detachment of the Nigerian Army has been drafted to ensure compliance with the curfew and the maintainance of peace in the communities.

The Kwara State Government therefore assures of its preparedness to deploy all lawful measures to ensure the welfare and security of all citizens.

Other communities in the state are also urged to continue to live in peace with their neighbouring communities as the full weight of the law will be brought to bear on anyone or group found inciting trouble in any part of the state no matter how highly placed.

Signed
Alhaji Sola Isiaka Gold
Secretary to the Kwara State Government
