The Executive Chairman of Isoko North Local Government Area, Hon. Elder Prince Godwin Ogorugba, has announced the relaxation of the curfew imposed on Ozoro metropolis, extending the permitted movement period from 7:00pm to 10:00pm daily, following improved security conditions in the community.
The decision was announced in a statement issued last Tuesday, after a Security Council meeting.
The Chairman urged residents to comply with the curfew and provide useful information to security agencies, while directing security operatives to strengthen their intelligence gathering networks.
He also emphasised that residents, motorists and commercial motorcycle operators must remain indoors from 10:00pm to 6:00am daily until further notice.
He further assured that the Council is working closely with the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army and other security agencies to restore normalcy in the community.
Ogorugba also appreciated security agencies and residents of Ozoro and its environs for their patience and cooperation over the past two weeks.
The Security Council also prohibited the use of fireworks, popularly known as knockouts, warning that anyone caught violating the directive would face appropriate action.
It also barred unregistered vehicles and motorcycles from operating on the roads to aid security identification.
