Kwara Local Govt Imposes Curfew Over Insecurity; College Shutdown Amid Security Woes
The Ifelodun Local Government Area in Kwara State, Nigeria, has implemented a curfew in the Oro Ago district in response to heightened insecurity challenges. The decision, announced by the local government chairman, takes effect from January 28, 2026, impacting both human and vehicular movement in the entire district.
This move aligns with the recent directive issued by the Kwara State Ministry of Tertiary Education, Science, and Technology to close down the Kwara State College of Education Oro following worsening security issues in the area. The memo, dated January 20, 2026, instructed the immediate cessation of academic activities at the institution.
The decision to declare a curfew and close the college is part of broader efforts by the state government to address rising insecurity concerns within affected local government areas.
