Rivers State Security Council has relaxed the 24-hour curfew imposed on the entire Oyigbo Local Government Area of the State following the killing of 10 security operatives allegedly by members of proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).
State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim, disclosed this yesterday, during a briefing at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
Nsirim said the curfew would now take effect from 7pm to 6am beginning from Wednesday.
This was even as Governor Nyesom Wike has announced the arrest of two kingpins of IPOB in Oyigbo by security operatives.
Nsirim said: “You will recall that following the killing of six soldiers and four policemen, and the destruction of court buildings by members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the Rivers State Government imposed a 24 hour curfew on the entire Oyigbo Local Government Area on October 21, 2020.
