The Adamawa State Police Command has warned individuals, groups, and institutions to desist from using unauthorized security uniforms under the guise of a costume day celebration.
It said anyone found engaging in such illegal practice will be decisively dealt with in accordance with the law.
The warning was contained in a statement made available to newsmen Friday night by the Command Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Yahya Nguroje.
“The Adamawa State Police Command came across some very disturbing pictures on social media showing students wearing Police and Military uniforms and engaging in an indecent and unacceptable manner, portraying the police with a bad image, under the guise of a costume day celebration.
“The Command wishes to categorically state that the unauthorized use of Police uniforms is a criminal offence punishable under the law. Such reckless acts do not only undermine the integrity of the security agencies but also mislead the public and will not be tolerated,” the statement said.
Nguroje said the Commissioner of Police, CP Morris Dankombo, has directed a full-scale investigation into the matter, with a view to bringing all those involved to book.
