Security personnel are reportedly protecting campaign posters and billboards of President Bola Tinubu in Kaduna ahead of his expected visit to the state on Saturday.
The APC will flag off its 2027 presidential campaign in Kaduna on Saturday.
Security operatives were stationed at strategic locations across the metropolis to prevent possible vandalism of campaign materials.
Daily Trust gathered that personnel of the Kaduna State Traffic Law Enforcement Authority (KASTLEA) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) were among those assigned to protect the posters and billboards, particularly along major roads leading to the Kaduna Township Stadium, the venue of the expected rally.
A security operative deployed for the assignment told Daily Trust that some personnel had been selected to guard the campaign materials from the Township Stadium area to Kawo.
“We were assigned alongside KASTLEA marshals to protect Tinubu’s billboards and posters from being vandalised before the campaign rally. Our duty is mostly at night because that is when the youths can carry out such acts,” he said.
The source added that the assignment followed a circular issued by their unit directing some personnel to provide security for the campaign materials.
It was observed police officers and plain-clothes operatives stationed at major roads and roundabouts, where they maintained vigilance over motorists and other road users.
Police patrol vehicles were also sighted around the venue of the expected rally and along Ahmadu Bello Way, including the roundabout near the former NEPA office.
Armed police officers were also observed around the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital roundabout as security preparations intensified ahead of the visit.
