Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Yobe State Commissioner of Police, CP Usman Kanfani Jibrin, has charged senior police officers across the command to maintain professionalism, discipline and neutrality in the discharge of their duties. He stressed the importance of conducting police operations in accordance with the law and established professional standards.
The Commissioner urged officers to remain committed to their responsibilities and avoid actions capable of undermining public confidence in the police. He noted that professionalism, impartiality and respect for the rights of citizens would be critical to maintaining peace and ensuring a secure environment before, during and after the elections.
As political activities intensify ahead of 2027, the Yobe Police Command is expected to play a vital role in safeguarding lives and property while supporting a peaceful electoral process. The CP’s call reinforces the need for officers to remain non-partisan, vigilant and guided by the principles of fairness and accountability throughout the electoral period.
