ABUJA — Female Police Officers in Nigeria have now been permitted to wear stud earrings, and headscarves under their berets or peak caps while in uniform.
In a statement in Abuja by the Acting Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba approved the new and improved dress code for women police officers in the country.
