August 8, 2017 – Photos: Nigerian Soldiers Allegedly Stripped Lady Caught Wearing Camouflage Shirt & Pant In Kano
More details have emerged on a slay queen stripped by some officers for wearing a military camouflage.
The incident reportedly took place in Kano over the weekend.
According to eyewitnesses, the female undergraduate of Aminu Kano University was walking along the streets when some soldiers on patrol accused her of impersonating a military officer. She was immediately ordered to remove the outfit.
When she refused to comply with the soldiers instruction, an officer was forced to remove her camo pant.
The source who shared the photo on FB yesterday said it took the intervention of some women around the place before the officers could allow her to leave the place in a camo shirt.
The source added that a provision seller around the scene of the incident gave her a wrapper she tied before calling a taxi to take her home.

In Africa, camouflages are for the military and nobody else should be wearing them. it is a combat uniform and should not be bastardized by civilians. What do you think people would say if she dressed in traditional African warriors uniform ( like Fadeyi Oloro)? Let us teach these young people morality, majority of them lack manners!

Come-on guys visit other African countries like South Africa a civilian can wear that to anywhere without qualms not only in SA, go to Egypt you will as well enjoy wearing the same fatigues uniform. Nigerian military is making a show out of that.The texture in public domain is not the same with the military uniform.
Why all these harassment? Nigeria Ministry of Defence should put the record straight whether this is military fatigue uniform, and if so they should stop the importation from the source.

Just like one commenter said, if they are going to make it a law not to wear camou, they should have made it known to the public instead of humiliating innocent citizens. That is why we never know how to do things right in this Country. That is the same reason we cannot govern ourselves. This is not the first time this issue will happen. Top Military Generals should have set the record straight, there is no where in the constitution that says the citizens should not wear camou dress. We need to stop displaying our ignorancy for the world to see.

Where was it written on the the constitution that a person should be tripped when caught wearing a camouflage? Why are the Nigerian soldiers always making a show of themselves? At first it was a crippled man begging on the street and now a lady!! But one question i want to ask if that girl was to be the daughter of the president or the daughter to a high ranking Military personnel will they do that to her? We all are citizens of the country and and should be treated with equal right and justice. Be you a soldier or what so ever you have no right to strip a woman necked publicly if you think she contradicted the law then you should have taken her to police station. you don’t use your power to molest citizens.

But what are you all wearing the ugly outfit for?Cant u dress decently and wear designer clothes or something just decent.Why would u want to identify with dem.Den Nigeria is an animal kingdom and zoo and my advice is for you people still living thhere to relocate to a developed country and fulfill your destiny until they divide Nigeria or Nigeria disintegrates and we haveregional leaders.It would ameliorate corruption and stop the intimidation in the zoo called Nigeria.I have never worn it and would never.I am an elite and I haveelitist friends not undecent aggressive friends.

Nigerians must unanimously condemn these acts of intimidation and hooliganism. This happened to me when I visited Nigeria from the UK. The designer cloth (with a big badge and unique designs) I was wearing was taken from me by one military officer, thank God I was wearing a singlet, I would have been left naked. What a country we have, where the so-called military officers molest and terrorised the masses whom they supposed to be protecting and defending. We are not animals, we need to be civilised.
