The Nigerian Navy has again warned against use the unauthorised use of the Nigerian Navy uniform is an offence under Nigerian laws.
Director of Information, Commodore A Adams-Aliu said this in a press statement on Friday, referring to a section of the constitution, Chapter 12 section 110 (1) and (2) of the Criminal Code states that “any person who not being a person serving in any of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, wears the uniform or any part of the uniform of such forces, or any dress having the appearance….is guilty of an offence….”.
He noted that it has come to the attention of the Nigerian Navy that some individuals, who are not personnel of the military especially the Nigerian Navy wear naval uniforms, use naval accoutrements and insignia indiscriminately.
He said the Nigerian Navy therefore, warned them to desist from wearing or appearing in Naval uniforms and accoutrements at all times.
He said anyone found in breach of these regulations could be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
