Adamawa Police Warn Against Unauthorised Use of Security Uniforms
The Adamawa State Police Command has cautioned individuals, groups, and institutions against the unauthorised use of security uniforms, describing the act as a criminal offence punishable under Nigerian law.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Suleiman Nguroje, issued the warning in a statement released on Friday in Yola.
According to him, the police had observed disturbing images circulating on social media showing students clad in police and military uniforms during a so-called “costume day” celebration.
“These students were also seen engaging in indecent and unacceptable behaviour, portraying the police in a negative light,” Nguroje said.
He emphasised that the illegal use of police uniforms undermines the integrity of security agencies.
“Such reckless acts not only damage the image of law enforcement institutions but also mislead the public and will not be tolerated,” he warned.
Nguroje disclosed that the state Commissioner of Police, CP Morris Dankombo, had ordered a full-scale investigation to identify and prosecute those involved.
He further cautioned that anyone found culpable would face strict legal consequences.
