DHQ insists on ban on illegal use of military stickers, insignia

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

The military noted that some individuals persist in unlawfully displaying military stickers and insignia.

The statement emphasised that both the military and the Nigeria Police Force have been instructed to arrest and prosecute those violating the ban.
