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 .Ma binu...... |

wheesin: I was just passing by this afternoon... Unfortunately i was putting on a camouflage... Suddenly i was approached by a soldier holding a golf club... He pointed it at me and was shouting at me... I really didn't understand what he meant.. He chased me with the golf club and told me to pull off the shorts... I was really embarrassed because it was in a very condensed area.... I was putting on boxers underneath. I had to pull it off and i was queried on why i wore it.. Then i was told to go home with my boxers on... I found this very disgraceful..This is what we refers to as impersonation, why wore Army camouflage ? what kampala and jeans meant for ? |

Anti-Serious: You are the one who dont know anything. Many countries around the world doesnt count wearing army uniforms by civilians as a crime. Even when you wear such cloths they see it that you have love for the army. |

Apparently, there is a law against civilians wearing anything related to military in Ghana as well. I guess its a West African thing. |

It is a clear violation of your human right. In other country you can put on complate millitary attire. Nigeria soldiers are illitrate . My brother if you have the courrage challenge then in the law court. This nonsense must be stop. There is no law in nigeria that say nobody should put on millitary colour. Markert people display and sale it in open day light, let the soldier go and harrasse them for saling it in the first place. I rest my case. Thank u all |

wordsbase: You are a "bloody civilian". On what basis did you think you could publicly put on camouflage... The law has always existed.. And it is not a violation of you human rights. Your a very stupid fellow. come here to the U.S. and see people wear all sort of camouflage. Which stupid law say people shouldn't wear it? pls Show us? over here, you dont even see Military men on the street or wherever, cos there are always in camp or base. I dont know why only Nigerian things are always different. SMH. |

haymoney01: Sharapp. Even me as a paramilitary(man o'war) an officer 4 crying out loud is nt allowed to wear the camo.It depends.. My unit for instance, still use the former green uniform instead of the brown.. And often times mix It with camo depending on situation, there's even an army barracks close to our unit (nigerian army school of supply and transport)and d soldiers dont disturb us often, cos we had a violent fight 2years back and since den we've been rolling together... Wee ! |

You get luck say them no design your face for you with the golf club. In a country where boko haram terrorists have used camo to wreck havoc, you still ask why a civilian should wear camo shorts? |

wheesin: It is a clear violation of my rights.. I have d rights to put on any cloth i buy... So fvck offyou asked a question and he is trying to make a point. Is he not entitled to his opinion. If u tink its a violation of ur right, please I beg u put it on some other day. I guess the military man u met was merciful and gentlemanly else u for ask whether na only camo. In a country where u know we are still experience security problems, u are concluding it's a fundamental human right to put on any cloth including a camouflage. |
Re: Soldiers Harass Civilians For Putting On Camouflage by agohmamuda(m): 9:43pm On Nov 18, 2013 |
A civilian putting on a camouflage is called " abuse of uniform". The law has been in existence for so long and as at last month the chief of Army staff warned against civilians, be it celebrities or who ever no to wear camouflage. Not to be worn for parties, performances, leisure or what so ever reason. There has to be discipline and a clear differentiation between civilians and military. God bless me and the Nigerian Army. |

Re: Soldiers Harass Civilians For Putting On Camouflage by BYSilver(m): 9:57pm On Nov 18, 2013 |
koonbey: Excuse me Sir;this does not fly since,there are some Camo Outfits that are very obviously are not Millitary Issue,and in no way resemble such,in Fact,Soldiers have been known to harass People wearing only Camo Snapback Caps, which are very obviously simply Fashion accessories. The Fact is that most Force Men are overzealous and irresponsible when dealing with Civilians. Sir the issue should not be confused, if you wear a camo that has no affiliation with that which is used by d nigerian soldiers of which section 109 and 110 of the criminal law applies then no body has a right to touch you,if you are harassed you have valid grounds 2secure conviction and recover damages against the nigerian army. As regards the people that put on only the snap back cap as u said they will still fall under d law if it resembles that which is used by the army, and dat it was only the cap is no valid defence since section 109 Sub (A) states ''Wears any part of the uniform''. Finally section 34 of the 1999 constitution is not an absolute right, which means it can be violated by a valid law if you have violated any established law as provided by section 36 sub 12 of 1999 constitution as amended...the section is interpreted with other sections. |
