The Jigawa State Police Command has warned troublemakers to stay away from the venue of a rally ahead of President Bola Tinubu's visit on Tuesday.
The visit will be Tinubu's first working trip to Jigawa since he took office on 29 May 2023.
He is expected to commission projects and attend political events ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Commissioner of Police Tijjani Murtala briefed reporters in Dutse on Monday.
He said police, the army, the Civil Defence Corps, the Department of State Services and other agencies have been deployed to key points in the state capital.
Extra officers, including Mobile Police from other commands, are also being brought in.
He said the security assessment so far shows no major threat.
Murtala said officers would not allow anyone to use the visit to cause trouble.
Plainclothes officers will be mixed into the crowd to catch pickpockets, phone snatchers and other petty thieves.
He added that the extra deployment is for the presidential visit only and is not part of any political campaign.
He asked residents to cooperate with security personnel and report anything suspicious.
