The Nigerian Army has warned civilians against wearing the military camouflage, saying it remains illegal.

The Director, Army Public Relations, Major General ONYEMA NWACHUKWU, said the wearing of military camouflage was banned because of the fact that terrorists and other imposters had often exploited the misuse of military camouflage.

General NWACHUKWU said only personnel of the Armed Forces of Nigeria and the Nigeria Police Force are legally permitted to wear military camouflage.

He stated that the Nigerian Army remains committed to upholding the law and ensuring the safety and security of all citizens.
