Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Adamawa State Police Command has warned schools and individuals against the unauthorized use of police and military uniforms following the circulation of disturbing photos on social media.<\/p>\n

The images showed students wearing police and military attire during a costume day celebration, behaving in ways that the command described as indecent and damaging to the reputation of security agencies.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement signed by SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the olice Public Relations Officer on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the commissioner of police, CP Morris Dankombo, described the act as a criminal offence and has ordered a full-scale investigation to identify and hold those responsible accountable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unauthorized use of police uniforms is a serious offence punishable by law. Such acts not only undermine the integrity of our security agencies but also mislead the public and will not be tolerated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He reiterated the command\u2019s position, urging schools, groups, and individuals to stop using security uniforms without permission.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone found engaging in this illegal practice will be decisively dealt with according to the law,\u201d Nguroje warned.<\/p>\n
