The state administration of Niger has declared a ban on all sorts of processions throughout the state.

The ban was effective immediately, according to Alhaji Ahmed Matane, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), who announced it in a statement in Minna on Saturday.

According to the SSG, "the decision to restrict all forms of processions was made as a result of the state's security situation," and security services have been directed to enforce the order and deal with any person, group, organization, or individual who violates it.

Matane urged residents across the state to follow the directive to the letter and to be law abiding.
