5 Years After, Borno Celebrates Sallah Without Curfew (photos) by saints2(f): 3:20pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
Residents of Borno State, North-East Nigeria, for the first time in five years, celebrated Sallah festival freely. The state, which is worst hit by Boko Haram insurgency, had been closed to vehicular movements and out-door celebration during all festivities, be it Islamic and Christian, due to fear of terror attacks. Residents were compelled to celebrate religious festivals under curfew or restriction of movement since 2011, following increased bomb attacks and other violent acts by the Boko Haram. However, the State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, made an announcement, on Monday, allowing all citizens of the state to have a fresh breath of air during the festival. “After extensive deliberations, the key actors in security in the state unanimously resolved that we want to give our people dignity. We want them to have a feel of what it was to celebrate and we have resolved not to restrict movement during this year’s Eid-el-Fitri,” he announced after a security meeting.
