wheesin: It is a clear violation of my rights.. I have d rights to put on any cloth i buy... So fvck off

Mr Aboki:


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..

BY Silver: 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.

too late,you should have told the soldier same thing you wrote here!

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..


Now i want to know why these is happening because this is very inhuman and a clear human rights violation

badesco:


Are you not in this country when the authority made a public announcements that wearing of any military camouflage or using of military car stickres is illegal and that whoever aught will be prosecuted. You should thank your star that you are not prosecuted, if not you would probably be inside prison by now. Nigerians are the most lawless human in the world, they simply have no respect for constituted authority.

topsyking:
[/b]shuut up guy... come to europe or even south africa, even kenya sef.. and see how people dress in complete army cloth...its your right to wear anything u like.. some people here go even wear complete army cloth, u go tink they be army.. but in nigeria most of the army boys are illiterate, not expose. all they want is to steal the cloth for there use..another ways of stealing.it show nigeria is really far behind.[b]

jonezz:

You are wicked

wheesin: It is a clear violation of my rights.. I have d rights to put on any cloth i buy... So fvck off

hardbody:

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

Mr Aboki:

How?!



All I suggested was that he ask the officer to arrest him.. Whats wicked in that?!

Arrest me and lets follow due process.. If its a crime, arrest me. But I will not strip for anybody. Thats tantamount to extra-judial sentencing and that is also illegal.

I would like to know what you would be charged for.. Impersonating an Officer would be my best guess, but: For you to impersonate an officer, you would have everything that a Nigerian Army Uniform has which includes but not limited to;

1. Rank
2. Name Tag (Nigerian Military style)
3. Nigerian Army Crest/Logo
4. Military Pins (those multi-colored tags)
5. Nigerian Army flag
6. Nigerian Flag
e.t.c..


Soooooooo!!! Why did you say I am wicked?!

This is my advice to Nigerians who feel like they are being exploited/Harassed.. Demand that you be arrested and charged to court.

Iceman296:
Oga, You just de talk plenty. Law or No law, the Military Detest Civilians Who Wear Camouflage. Its Sign of Respect and Pride to them Nothing Else. Seems You haven't been drilled by them before.

Op was even Lucky, Mine was that i wore an Ordinary Camo School bag and This Guy really Dealt with me.

Be Cautions with them For Prevention would always Be Cheaper than Cure!

wheesin: It is a clear violation of my rights.. I have d rights to put on any cloth i buy... So fvck off

Mr Aboki:


1. The Camouflage fabric is not a symbol of Military Pride.. I dont know who told you that nonsense.

2. The Military is still subject to the Law.

3. I have been drilled by both the Army & Navy on separate occasions.
The worst that can happen is that you will be assaulted. Ehen!!!! So when they are done assaulting you, you can nicely proceed to report the matter to their authority. Its either we make it a law or then they stop harassing people..

4. Prevention is indeed better than cure.. If we dont prevent this harassment from happening, then we can never cure it.




WEARING CAMOUFLAGE IS NOT ILLEGAL IN NIGERIA.. Soon, the Police would start arresting people for wearing Black and Black, NSCDC would arrest people for wearing Blue and Blue, e.t.c..
