Adamawa CP warns against illegal wearing of police, other security agencies’ uniforms
The police command in Adamawa State has warned individuals, groups, and institutions against the unauthorised use of security uniforms, describing it as a criminal offence punishable under the law.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Suleiman Nguroje, made this known in a statement on Friday in Yola.
He said the command came across disturbing images circulating on social media showing students dressed in police and military uniforms under the guise of a “costume day” celebration.
Mr Nguroje stated, “These students were also seen engaging in indecent and unacceptable behaviour, portraying the police in a negative light.’’
He emphasised that the unauthorised use of police uniforms was illegal and undermined the integrity of security agencies.
He added, “Such reckless acts not only damage the image of law enforcement institutions but also mislead the public and will not be tolerated.’’
Mr Nguroje further stated that the state Commissioner of Police, Morris Dankombo, ordered a full-scale investigation to identify and prosecute individuals involved.
He warned that anyone found engaging in such unlawful practices would face strict legal consequences.
