The Oyo State Government has extended the curfew imposed on 10 local government areas bordering the Old Oyo National Park by an additional 24 hours.

According to a statement made available to cbinewstv, Governor Seyi Makinde approved the extension as part of ongoing efforts to tackle the security challenges in the affected communities.
