He also highlighted the need for movie producers and the entertainment industry to seek official approval before using police uniforms in their productions.
He wrote, “We need to repeat it again and again that manufacturing, storage, sales, and usage of police and security agencies’ uniforms, kits, and accoutrements are illegal and punishable under the law. Stop it today.
“Some illegally use them to put us in pain and sorrow. Expose evil-doers for us to have a better security situation in Nigeria.
“Movie producers and those in the entertainment industry need to get approvals from relevant agencies before they can use our uniforms, kits, and accoutrements. They know, and they have been doing that.”
