am sorry op you cannot claim violation of ur human right as contained under chapter 4 section 34 of the 1999 constitution as ur act was a violation of section 109 and 110 of the criminal code.see the section below

 
109.        Any person who, not being a person serving in the armed forces of Nigeria nor a member of the police forces, and with intent that he may be taken to be such a person or member as aforesaid-
 
(a)             wears any part of the uniform of, or
 
(b)            wears any garb resembling any part of the uniform of, a person serving in the armed forces of Nigeria, or a member of the police forces,
 
                is guilty of a misdemeanour and is liable to imprisonment for one year.
 
110.         Any person who- Unlawfully wearing the uniform of forces, etc. L.N. 112 of 1964. 1967 No. 27.
 
(1)            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 the armed dress having the appearance or bearing any of the regimental or other distinctive marks of such uniforms; or
 
(2)            not being a person holding any office or authority under the Government of Nigeria or of any part thereof, wears any uniform or distinctive badge or mark or carries any token calculated to convey the impression that such person holds any office or authority under the government;
 
                 is guilty of an offence and is liable to imprisonment for one month, or to a fine of ten naira, unless he proves that he had the permission of the President or of the Governor of a State or wear such uniform or dress, badge or mark or to carry such token:
 
                 Provided that this section shall not apply to the wearing of any uniform or dress in the course of a stage play or in any bona fide public entertainment.

Finally since he didn't apply any force on you your case is slim..better luck next time.

idupaul: Do people even know the meaning of the word camoflage .. Even black when used in the dark becomes a camoflage .. And for Jungle issue camoflage every Army has their signature camo pattern and the OPs right has clearly been violated if he wasn't wearing the official issue of the Nigerian army and especially if was wearing a fashion print version tailored in a way that does not bear any semblance to gear designed for combat role .

Plenty grammar!

Before you'd even say "do you peo..." Guy na stars you go begin see



Leave the military outfits (or any semblance of it) for them please!
Don't tell me you haven't heard of cases where people commit heinous crimes dressed in these garbs. Even those with "army" stickers on their cars violate traffic laws...yet are civilians!

wheesin: Its a shame that soldiers respect no one just because of a uniform

Are you claiming that camouflage is our traditional attire or ceremonial dress. In as much you re a civilian, military rule forbids it. In fact its meant for the jungle.

Freiburger:
I think the law has been there for long.


No such Law exists in Nigeria..


What those Soldiers did was illegal.. The OP should have stood his grounds & demanded a formal proceeding.



No Sir, I will not strip.. Arrest me if you please


Search for a Police officer around and demand that you be arrested for wearing a camouflaged shorts and have them charge you to court..

wheesin: Wat about celebrities dat put on camouflage aren't they civilians anymore... Just because I was not a celebrity undecided

Did you say you were not a celebrity? You are not one, you never was and probably never will be, except you succeed in large scale armed robbery.

In the meantime, it is in your best interest to avoid trouble. They were lenient if all they did was take the stuff off you, next time, you may not be that lucky. I hope you understand what i mean. To get a full meaning of 'police is your friend', let a military man slap you with vex, you will clearly understand the difference between thunder and lightning. You have been warned.

As for me, wearing army camo comes with the presumption that one wants to inpersonate! If not, why were you not found wearing custom,immigration or even police uniform? Why army?

We know that your people always love committing suicide either alone or killing people en masse using bombs etc.
But why would you indoctrinate this small boy to try and kill himself? His dead body may never be found.

Oya pikin, go and remove any other camo in your house and stay far away from it, it can endanger your life permanently

Camouflage is customized and regulated cloth used only under authorization.
