30 June : Curfew in Abuja

If you have read/ heard on BBC about cerfew in Nigeria, let me convey that we are safe.
It was terrible last few weeks in Nigerian peace. Attacks on police head quarter, gun shooting and then Bomb attack in garden restaurant triggered this curfew.Thank God we all are safe here in Abuja.
Since yesterday curfew has been imposed on Nigeria's capital, Abuja, following recent attacks by Islamist militants, meaning nightclubs, beer  parlours and cinemas must close early. They must shut by 2200 local time and public parks that admit children should close by 1800.

Two weeks ago, eight people were killed when the Islamist sect Boko Haram attacked the police HQ in Abuja. On Sunday, its fighters bombed a beer garden in Maiduguri, killing 25.
