The Katsina State Police Command on Thursday warned politicians and other individuals sponsoring political violence ahead of the 2027 general elections that they would be identified, investigated and arrested, regardless of their political affiliation.
The command also cautioned youths against allowing themselves to be recruited as instruments of political violence, urging them to reject inducements offered by political actors to disrupt rallies, intimidate opponents or interfere with the electoral process.
The Commissioner of Police, Katsina State Command, CP Ali Fage, gave the warning in a speech delivered on his behalf by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Aminu Gusau, during the commemoration of the 2026 International Youth Day.
The event, which brought together youths and representatives of security agencies, traditional institutions and civil society organisations, was held under the theme, “Same Different Contexts, Common Aspirations.”
