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.

ReplyDeleteNice development.

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.

ReplyDeleteHere in America, anybody can wear camouflage without harassment or intimidation
ReplyDeleteYEAAAAHHHH!
ReplyDeleteEvri 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
ReplyDeleteThis is a good step in the right direction. #changingthings
ReplyDeleteRubbish. It means normal people cannot wear the imitation at all. What a country? In developed countries you can wear such.
ReplyDeleteInstead 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.
ReplyDeleteNice development. Am tired of seeing different camouflage. It confuses me at times. Some even look like one cheap Ankara
