BREAKING: Nigerian Govt. Bans Police From Use Of Camouflage by boman2014: 6:08pm On Jun 12, 2015
The use of camouflage uniforms by various security
agencies other than the Armed Forces namely the
Army, Navy and the Air Force has been banned.
The Nigerian Police will however use the uniform
when in Joint Operation with the military or on
special operation such as specific anti-riot
missions, a statement by the Director of Defence
Information, Chris Olukolade, said Friday.
Mr. Olukolade, a Major General, said the te new rule
followed the directive of the National Security
Council approving the recommendations of a
committee on measures to streamline the use of
camouflage uniforms.
This, he said, was in view of the security
implications and concerns raised on the clamour,
duplicity and proliferation of camouflage uniforms
in the country.
“The use of camouflage/fatigue is therefore
restricted to the military and for occasional use by
the police henceforth,” the statement said.
Mr. Olukolade added, “The directive also stipulates
that the military is to adopt only two types of
camouflage for the three arms of the Armed Forces.
“All para-military agencies using various
camouflage/fatigues uniforms have up to January
2016 to withdraw such materials currently in their
inventory.
“With this development, the Ministry of Justice
along with law enforcement agencies have been
tasked to ensure that extant laws guiding the use
of uniforms in Nigeria are strictly enforced.
“In the same vein, the Office of the National
Security Adviser has been vested with the authority
to vet and clear any production and supply of
camouflage uniforms in Nigeria.
“The proliferation and imitation by criminals and
impostors using uniforms especially the
camouflage have been generating some concern in
national security circles.
“The development has been communicated to all
the agencies by the Office of the National Security
Adviser.”
