The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has reiterated that the ban on the illegal use of military stickers and displaying of any form of Service insignia by unauthorized persons especially on vehicles is still in place.
The Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brig-Gen Tukur Gusau stated this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Thursday.
Gen. Gusau said the DHQ has observed the non-adherence to the ban by some unauthorized individuals despite several warnings on the need to desist from such unlawful acts.
He said,”The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) wishes to re-emphasize that the ban on the illegal use of military stickers and displaying of any form of Service insignia by unauthorized persons especially on vehicles is still in place.
“The DHQ has observed the non-adherence to the ban by some unauthorized individuals despite several warnings on the need to desist from such unlawful acts.
“The DHQ, therefore advises those still contravening the ban to stop immediately as the military and Nigeria Police Force have been directed to arrest and prosecute defaulters. This decision was necessitated by the rampant cases of use of military tickers and insignias to evade security checks.
