Kano State Commissioner of Police issues a warning to politicians and political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections, urging them to avoid violence, hate speech, and spreading false information. The warning is delivered through a police notice in which officials stress the need for peaceful conduct during the campaign period.
According to reports, the police also caution parties and contestants against incitement and the use of “thuggery” or other actions that could disrupt public order. The Daily Post Nigeria report attributes the warning to a press statement signed by the Kano State Police Command spokesman, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, while The Punch Nigeria highlights the Commissioner of Police’s message to political actors. Both accounts frame the intervention as a preventive step to protect electoral peace and discourage conduct that may lead to unrest.
Overall, the outlets align on the same core message—police in Kano are warning political stakeholders to refrain from violence, hate speech, and misinformation as the 2027 elections approach.
