The Jigawa State Police Command has warned individuals and groups planning to disrupt President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s scheduled visit to the state on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, saying it will not tolerate any security breach.
The Commissioner of Police, Tijjani Murtala, issued the warning on Monday during a press conference at the command headquarters in Dutse, where he announced security arrangements for the presidential visit.
He said the command had deployed proactive security measures, intelligence gathering and coordinated operational strategies to ensure a peaceful and hitch-free visit.
“The Command will not tolerate any attempt by disgruntled elements or individuals with ulterior motives to infiltrate the gathering and cause unforeseen security incidents capable of disrupting the presidential engagement,” the commissioner warned.
Murtala said the police were working closely with other security agencies and relevant stakeholders to provide adequate security, manage crowds, regulate traffic and protect the President, visiting dignitaries and members of the public.
He added that officers had been briefed on their responsibilities and directed to maintain discipline, vigilance and professionalism throughout the assignment.
The commissioner also cautioned police personnel against intimidation, unnecessary use of force, misconduct and other unprofessional behaviour capable of undermining public confidence.
He said officers must remain civil and respectful towards residents while carrying out their duties firmly and in accordance with the law.
Murtala appealed to residents, political stakeholders and party supporters to remain peaceful, obey lawful security directives and avoid actions capable of causing public disorder.
He urged members of the public to report suspicious movements and activities to the nearest police formation.
