The Kano Police Command has taken disciplinary action against five officers caught on camera aiding a politician in distributing cash to the public in a viral video. The footage, which was recorded on July 10 at the Coronation Hall of the Kano Government House, shows uniformed officers helping organize crowds as a red-capped politician handed out money.
The police command responded swiftly to public outcry by confirming that the officers involved have been sanctioned as part of ongoing efforts to uphold discipline within the force and ensure impartiality in law enforcement. The police also emphasized the importance of maintaining neutrality and avoiding any conduct that may compromise public trust.
Authorities clarified that the incident is unrelated to any ongoing election activities and is currently under investigation to establish the full circumstances. The emphasis remains on reinforcing operational ethics and preventing the misuse of police powers for political purposes.
Kano residents and social media users expressed mixed reactions, with many calling for harsher penalties to deter future misconduct. The event has sparked renewed discussions on the role of security agencies in political processes and the need for transparency and accountability.
