The Sokoto State Commissioner of Police, Hayatu Hassan Shafa, has warned political parties and their supporters against violence, hate speech, fake news, and other actions capable of undermining the credibility of the 2027 general election.
Speaking at a stakeholder meeting with chairmen and representatives of political parties in Sokoto, Shafa said the elections must be approached as a democratic contest and not as a battle to be won by force or intimidation.
