IG bans sale of police uniforms, items


 BENIN—INSPECTOR General of Police, Mr. Muhammed Abubakar,  has ordered the immediate ban on the sale of police uniforms and accoutrements by unauthorised persons.

In a statement in Benin by the Police Zone 5 Benin, Public Relations Officer, Titilope Otukoya, the IG also banned the use of police lanyards by private security and other quasi-military organisations.

The ban, according to the statement had become necessary so as to bar criminals from perpetrating their evil acts under the guise of being members of the Nigeria Police Force.

She warned that any person found selling or sewing police accoutrements will be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.

She also called on individuals and organisations with such accoutrements to surrender them to the nearest police station in their interest.
