In a move to accommodate Muslim worshipers, the Borno State Government and security agencies have announced a temporary relaxation of the curfew imposed in the state.
The curfew will be lifted from 12 pm to 3 pm on Friday to allow Muslims to attend Jumaat prayers at their local mosques.
According to Assistant Superintendent of Police Daso Nahun, the Police Public Relations Officer, the curfew will be reinstated from 3 pm on Friday to 6 am on Saturday.
Nahun urged residents to use the window of relaxation to attend prayers and go about their lawful activities, while avoiding any form of violence.
This temporary easing of restrictions is aimed at balancing security concerns with religious freedom, allowing Muslims in Borno State to observe their Friday prayers without hindrance.
