Lagos police engage youths in campaign against political, digital thuggery

The Lagos State Police Command has launched a campaign against political and digital thuggery, engaging young people across the state in a Police-Youth Dialogue to promote responsible citizenship and raise awareness about criminal activities. Held at the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA) Secretariat, the event brought together representatives of various security agencies and youth and community organisations, including the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force, Nigerian Navy, NDLEA, FRSC, and NSCDC.

Participants discussed issues affecting young people, relations between the police and youths, policing, security, political participation, social media, cultism, thuggery, and other emerging security concerns. The programme encouraged young people to use their energy, creativity, and influence for positive development while rejecting violence, intimidation, misinformation, and the use of digital platforms for criminal activities.
