tutudesz:

you were brave and luck to have an argument with a fake officer, I repeat a fake officer.

okay! If you say so, you do not have to believe me, but like i ve mentioned be brave enough to challenge any officer who tries to intimidate you to quote the act in nigerian law were it says wearing a camo is a crime. Then you will be surprised

Babzilla:

Err..... someone put it up hear. Cant remeber bit abt 2 peeps confirmed it.
That shouldnt stop our activisim though

well... i think you will find that your argument have been flawed if you fail to back it up with and shred of prove

Babzilla:

Err..... someone put it up hear. Cant remeber bit abt 2 peeps confirmed it.

the military said stop putting on camp because 80% of criminals use it to commit crimes. for those saying in other countries they are allow to wear camo criminals do not use it to robbed,its for!our own benefit if we stop to be enable to identify real military person and fake.

adedayourt:


Now let us assume such person who wears the uniform without being a soldier is actually a criminal, does that give the soldier the right to dehumanise such person in public?
Why is their a justice system in place?

I strongly bliv the nig army is power intoxicated against civilian

Many time atrocities have been committed by imposters in military uniform and that has given the military and other forces whose uniform are abused a bad image . Besides its a criminal offence to wear it according to law.

Whether those who violate the law should be beaten, why would a civilian want to wear military uniform if they aren't up to any mischief? That crippled guy looks like someone who will be scamming people with that uniform probably claiming he got injured in war.

Forget about fashion copied from cable TV when it comes to impersonating a military police or paramilitary officer its a criminal offence.

I wear my camo anytime I am in Naija still waiting for the baga who is going to harass me.

how can you tell between military check point and fake check point,if everybody's is allow to wear camo? criminals mostly wear camo to robbed!

Lots of victimization by the Army go unreported.
If there was no picture/video evidence, this would have been one of such that would be denied.
Big ups for technology.
But when taking the evidence, be careful not to be seen. Your story may be worse if you live to share it.

exactly! This is the reason why not because it is a crime to wear camo as most nigerians believe other countries citizens wear it as a sign of partriotism but nigerians wear it to commit crimes

Good question! You can tell by challenging the fake or real officer to show you an ID and insist on following them to their office if you are been arrested even if you are in the wrong don't just accept to settle outside their office most nigerians commit some sort of crime hence they are alwsys afraid to follow to the office and find out their basic rights thereby settling at the roadside, look! I know is sounds scary that's why used the word BRAVE! you can never know until you have tried

its not in the Constitution! but its an offence. So many law are not back by the constitution but they are laws. Even civil defence were told to stop wearing camo too.

Section 110 & 111 of Nigeria Criminal Code Act states;

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.

yes! You are right the fake ones will run and the real ones will show you and ID and because criminals use it and even real officers use it to rob that's why civilians are banned to wear camo. Not that it is a crime again i mention BRAVE! You ve gat to be! To find out

The power of social media. I am impressed the NA addressed this. Kudos to them.

Hopefully that soldier was truly disciplined and not just hearsay.

Its actually illegal in nigeria and some other countries..even in india i think..the issue I have is the treatment doled out to offenders..lol

Yes, you are right. This issue was addressed in the Nigerian Criminal Act code. See this thread
