Borno State Police Command has warned politicians and political party supporters to avoid speeches and actions that may cause social unrest during political campaigns in the state. The Commissioner of Police CP Abdu Umar gave the warning on Wednesday while addressing journalists in Maiduguri, the state capital. “I enjoin you to maintain a cordial relationship with council leaders, traditional/community leaders, religious leaders, political leaders, youths and entire members of your respective communities as the Police cannot achieve this all alone. 94(1) of the Electoral Act 2022, has confirmed that electioneering campaigns by all political parties would officially commence today, 28th September 2022. This call for intensive security coverage by the Nigeria Police Force is the lead security agency in the political process,” he added.
