The Oyo State Government has lifted the curfew earlier imposed across 10 local government areas following the recent kidnapping incident in Oriire Local Government Area.
The decision brings an end to the movement restrictions introduced as part of efforts to strengthen security and support ongoing operations aimed at addressing the situation.
The government had initially announced a 16-hour curfew in the affected areas before extending the measure by an additional day on Thursday as authorities intensified security surveillance.
With the curfew now suspended, residents have been cleared to resume their normal daily and economic activities.
The state government expressed appreciation to residents for their patience, cooperation and understanding throughout the period of restriction, noting that public support played a significant role in maintaining order.
Authorities also assured citizens that security agencies remain on alert and are continuing efforts to ensure lasting peace and bring the kidnapping incident to a complete resolution.
Residents were encouraged to remain vigilant and continue supporting security agencies with timely information to sustain safety across the affected communities.
