24-hour curfew after Deborah Samuel's killing
Implemented
The directive
Declared a 24-hour curfew across Sokoto metropolis on 14 May 2022, invoking Section 176(2) of the 1999 Constitution and Section 15 of the Sokoto State Peace Preservation Law, after a mob killed student Deborah Emmanuel Samuel over a blasphemy allegation.
Real-world effect
The curfew was relaxed to a dusk-to-dawn window two days later after security agencies briefed the governor that calm had returned.
