DHQ

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has reiterated its ban on the unauthorized use of military stickers and service insignia, particularly on vehicles, by individuals who are not entitled to them.

In a statement signed by Tukur Gusau, Director of Defence Information, DHQ expressed concern over the continued disregard for the ban, despite previous warnings.

The military has noted that some individuals persist in unlawfully displaying military stickers and insignia. The statement emphasized that both the military and the Nigeria Police Force have been instructed to arrest and prosecute those violating the ban.

The crackdown followed a surge in cases where individuals use military paraphernalia to evade security checks.

The DHQ urged the public to comply with the directive immediately to avoid legal consequences.
