55 persons killed in a communal crash in Kaduna state.

Nigeria has deployed a special police force to restore calm in the northern state of Kaduna following communal violence that killed 55 people in the last few days, President Muhammadu Buhari said on Sunday.

The Kaduna state government imposed a 24-hour curfew on Sunday after violence broke out on the streets of the state’s capital city, also called Kaduna.

The violence in the state capital follows clashes between two communities in the Kasuwan Magani area of southern Kaduna which left 55 dead.
