The Adamawa State Police Command’s Commissioner, Morris Dankombo, had ordered a full-scale investigation to identify and prosecute all students and individuals involved in the usage of security uniform for costume day.
This was made known in a statement issued on Frday by the command’s spokesperson, SP Suleiman Nguroje.
According to the statement, the Police Commissioner gave the directive following the command’s discovery of disturbing images circulating on social media showing students dressed in police and military uniforms under the guise of a “costume day” celebration.
Nguroje issued warning to individuals, groups, and institutions against the unauthorised use of security uniforms, describing it as a criminal offence punishable under the law.
“These students were also seen engaging in indecent and unacceptable behaviour, portraying the police in a negative light,” he stated.
The police spokesperson emphasised that the unauthorised use of police uniforms was illegal and undermined the integrity of security agencies.
“Such reckless acts not only damage the image of law enforcement institutions but also mislead the public and will not be tolerated,” he added.
He warned that anyone found engaging in such unlawful practices would face strict legal consequences.
