The Katsina State Police Command says it is focusing attention on political violence and what it describes as “digital thuggery” as campaigns for Nigeria’s 2027 general elections get underway.
The command announced the move during a youth engagement in Katsina on Thursday as part of activities marking the 2026 International Youth Day.
The announcement came as political activities intensify under the revised timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 general elections released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a statement, the police spokesperson in Katsina, Abubakar Aliyu, said the command was concentrating on two emerging concerns, which it identified as political and digital thuggery.
The Commissioner of Police, Ali Fage, was represented at the event by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Finance and Administration, Aminu Gusau.
