This was contained in a statement issued and signed by the commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan.
The statement noted that the decision to relax the curfew hours from 6 pm to 6 am was reached after a review of the security situation presented by security agencies at a peace engagement.
It said by this development, “there will be movement in the areas from 6 am to 6 pm, while the curfew is to be observed from 6 pm to 6 am. daily.
“The government wishes to reiterate that the.initial declaration of the 24-hour curfew was to.avert escalation of violence.
“Monitoring of the situation will continue. Should.security assessments necessitate it, the government will not hesitate to revert to a 24-hour curfew,” the statement declared.
