The use of camouflage uniforms by various security agencies other than the Armed Forces namely; 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. This followed the directive of the National Security Council, as it approved the recommendations of a committee on measures to streamline the use of camouflage uniforms, 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 directive also stipulates that the military is to adopt only 2 types of camouflage for the 3 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.

As if we care. Even before now, if you see the way this military officials harass people because of this uniform.
If you want to wear camouflage, go and join the military.
When you have a military minded as president, kudos PMB and thank God our policemen and women will stop d silly act of wearing it anyhow.
That camouflage made those para-military people look cute. I hate the fact that they've banned it.
Nice development.
Best know to them.
Its a nice step. There should be rules and regulations guiding the use of the camouflage uniform. It will help curb impersonation and security loopholes in the country..
Ok then. I think it will help to know the 'real' force men from the fake ones.
#TeamBlessed#
That's okay

Ok...
Noted!!!
So a general is back now this brutal military guys want to turn to gods. Rubbish, is that the problem we have in Nigeria
Y d sudden beef on paramilitary??????? The last time I remember armed robbery taking place in their so called armed forces camouflage. Their barracks attacked in their camouflage too v never seen any crime being committed in the paramilitary camous.... there are better security issued to be checked than beefing the paramilitary. By d way if they feel they are superior y then do they always seek assistance from the likes of immigration and co?? Well their kettle of fish.
Dat's customs headquarters,see Dikko
Na wah o.so our people can work like this.all of a sudden Nigeria is working!Thank God for the man of honor at the top
The beginning
Good move but 2016 is still far for d ban to take affect.
There goes the cash spent on making the new camo uniform for police... mtchww
Hmmm. Very good one
Oh! So this is a bad policy right?...SMH
R u B H ?
Did you bother to read the whole article?
Good move
Nice. This would not go down well with some people.
Who Em help but the same para military is helping military fight BH under JTF ps Buhari this is not military regime! Get it together
Lol.. That used to be the case during the military regime. I remember how soldiers used to beat up "bloody civilians" who dressed in camouflage or army green outfit. Hahaha I Siddon dey look oooo
Stupid african nation, that knows nothing about human right ...Everyone have the right to wwear what he/she likes, no one bans camouflage in many developed nations and yet they are a million times security concious that these hell hole of a nation..
Thank God....makes them all look like uniforms for potential rebels.SMH

So are they saying we cant wear the fashionable one?
Here in America, anybody can wear camouflage without harassment or intimidation
YEAAAAHHHH!
Evri idiot on uniform feels like THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA.
Well that's a good one. It seemed all too rediculous that all uniformed paramilitary institutions now wear camouflage fatigues. Whoever thought it was expedient lives in the slavish shadows of military dictatorships. Of all the issues belabouring their institutions, it shows that their leaders are as clueless as u can imagine. Thanks MOD for putting sanity back into the system
This is a good step in the right direction. #changingthings
Rubbish. It means normal people cannot wear the imitation at all. What a country? In developed countries you can wear such.
Instead of them to focus on catching Boko Haram they are banning camo, so so stupid. The Nigerian military needs to get their priorities in order.
U no dey read? Olodo. Before they started using camo very recently didnt they hv their uniforms? Mtcheww.
Nice development. Am tired of seeing different camouflage. It confuses me at times. Some even look like one cheap Ankara
