KDSG Bans Hunters From Carrying Guns

Kaduna State Government has banned the use of guns by hunters to check indiscriminate explosions, the Commissioner for Information, Alhaji Saidu Adamu, said on Friday.

Adamu, who made the announcement in Kaduna, said the decision was taken by the State Security Council as part of strategies to secure lives and property.

He said the state government had communicated the decision to the Hunters Association and the members agreed to comply with the order.

The commissioner also warned the people against using fireworks, especially during the yuletide.

He said that the use of such explosives would aggravate the security situation, scare people as well as disrupt the peace.

Adamu assured the people that the state government had beefed up security to protect lives and property.

He insisted that the ban on the operation of motorcycles after 9 p.m. was still in force and should be obeyed.
