The Enugu State Police Command today, Friday, August 21, 2026, held a Walkathon through major streets in Enugu metropolis as part of activities marking the Nigeria Police Force International Youth Day 2026 celebration under the National Youth Leadership and Security Initiative. During the exercise, participants engaged residents and road users on the need to promote peace, security, reject violence and shun political thuggery and other forms of criminality.
The Walkathon was anchored on the International Youth Day 2026 theme, “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” and the Nigeria Police Force Special National Campaign theme, “My Future is Greater Than Political Thuggery.” The initiative is aimed at strengthening police-youth relations, promoting responsible citizenship and encouraging young people to reject the use of violence in political and social activities.
The activities will continue tomorrow, Saturday, August 22, 2026, with a Police-Youth Dialogue at the Senior Police Officers’ Mess, Agbani Road, Enugu. The event will feature the formal launch of the Police Campaign Against Political and Digital Thuggery, providing a platform for youths, police personnel and other stakeholders to interact, exchange ideas and strengthen collaborative efforts towards a safer and more peaceful society.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, psc, mspsp, smicm, commended the participants and citizens for their cooperation. He further invites youths, student leaders, and stakeholders to participate in tomorrow’s Police-Youth Dialogue, aimed at deepening police-youth engagement and mobilising collective action against political and digital thuggery, violence and other social vices.
