The Delta State Government has reviewed the curfew declared by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in the state.
It said the curfew shall now be observed between the hours of 8:00pm till 6:00am with effect from Saturday (today) October 31.
Okowa had declared the curfew following the violence that rocked the #EndSARS protests by hoodlums where private and public assets were destroyed.
The State Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu in a statement on Saturday thanked residents for observing the curfew which is expected to restore normalcy in the state.
“As a government we are not unmindful of the stress our people are going through on account of the curfew, but it was inevitable in order to protect the life and property of Deltans.
“I must thank Deltans for protecting the interest of our common patrimony by ensuring that no further destruction of public buildings was witnessed in the state.
“As part of our avowed commitment to build a stronger Delta with our youths, let me also express the determination of the State Government to give effect to the decisions reached in the Town Hall meetings with youths in the state,” Aniagwu said.
