koboko69:What is difficult for you to understand in this? The law does not stipulate where the President or Governor can wear it to. It says they can wear it. So even if any of them likes, they should wear it to the moon or another galaxy, they will still be within their rights to do so. 4 Likes |

koboko69:Guy,i think your problem with Fayose is that he wore the camo to present budget to the state house of assembly. I want you to peruse and read that section once more and tell me where the law specify where and how to wear such camo. Even military didn't complain but civilians going berserk about the issue 4 Likes |

HQuadreal: It reveals something. All our senators and lawmakers o dey work. I thought reviewing these was part of their work. Do u know penalty for building an oil pipeline without land clearance is 100 naija per kilo. Maybe they amended dat 1. Anyway, Fayose owes gives 10 naija. |

It is important to define the terms. A piece of clothing may appear similar to military uniform but still not match the "definition" .Also important is "Mens Rea" which in this case would mean an intent to mislead or deceive unlawfully. The intent cannot be ignored. We all see what the Minister of sports wears. Is that "Military" uniform? 1 Like |

I hope there is an existing law like this in the Penal code, cos the Criminal code is only applicable in the southern part of Nigeria while the Penal code is for the North. |

WOW!!! @ video from around 2:40 - 2:42. Did the guy survive the episode as I saw the soldier at the extreme left of the screen raising his gun immediately the soldier the guy was holding on to broke lose. The law says a month in prison or N10 fine. And what exactly will killing the civilian they are supposed to be protecting do for them? I'm sure those soldiers have no freaking idea that civilians could even wear camo with permission. Gosh! |
Re: Criminal Code Act Banning Civilians From Wearing Military Camouflage by basadenet: 3:19pm On Dec 09, 2016 |
I am sure you guys are referring to Gov. FAYOSE for wearing military camouflage. by law he has the right judging by the below section. (2) not being a person holding any office or authority under the Government of Nigeria or of any part thereof, wears any uniform or distinctive badge or mark or carries any token calculated to convey the impression that such person holds any office or authority under the government; is guilty of an offence and is liable to imprisonment for one month, or to a fine of ten naira, unless he proves that he had the permission of the President or of the Governor of a State or wear such uniform or dress, badge or mark or to carry such token: Provided that this section shall not apply to the wearing of any uniform or dress in the course of a stage play or in any bona fide public entertainment |
Re: Criminal Code Act Banning Civilians From Wearing Military Camouflage by Nobody: 3:25pm On Dec 09, 2016 |
The penalty is one month in jail or a N10 fine, adjusted for inflation. The penalty presupposes the offender will pass through the criminal justice system at some point. So, the soldiers malign our criminal justice system by taking law into their hands. Point is, if a soldier beats up a fellow in camouflage, the camouflage wearer and the soldier are both breaking our laws. |

Phlegmwash: @ bold part is understatement of what the soldiers were planning to do to the poor fellow in that video. Look at the video from 2:40 up; one of them was raising up his gun and that was why the guy was holding on to the other soldier. Hopefully, he survived the ordeal. |
