Insecurity: Nigerian Army Ban Soldiers From Travelling In Uniform

 

 

Following the rising security challenges in country,  Nigerian Army  have directed their personnel to henceforth not embark on any private journey wearing military camouflage.

The directive is contained in a memo sighted by our correspondent on Monday, which is dated September 21, 2022.

Unit Commanders were asked to sternly warn their personnel to also desist from displaying military accoutrements in their private vehicles.

 

The Nigerian Army (NA) frowned at personnel who embark on unofficial journeys dressed in their full regalia, stating that aside from violating the regulations guiding NA, such acts also endanger the life of the participators.

 

 

The memo reads, “The current security environment across the country calls for more proactive measures to address the evolving threats, especially the personal security of NA personnel on leave or pass without military escorts. Sequel to this, References A to C directed formations and units on the need to adhere to directives prohibiting personnel from travelling in NA uniforms,” the memo read.

 

“Accordingly, References D requested commanders at all levels to sensitise personnel under command to desist from dangerous practices of displaying military accoutrements in their vehicles.

 

“However, despite these series of warnings and enlightenments, it has been observed that the NA personnel still embark on unofficial journeys dressed in NA regalia and sometimes display military accoutrements in their vehicles. It is instructive to state that this trend, aside from being inimical to the provision of the NA Dress Regulations, could also endanger personnel lives and properties especially en-route.”
