The Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Tukur Buratai, on Tuesday declared
that the Nigerian troops have been forbidden from uploading pictures and videos
of their operations on social media.
The General Officer
Commanding, GOC, 1 Division Mechanized Army, Kaduna, Adeniyi Oyebade, handed
the directive, when he represented the COAS at the graduation ceremony of Men
of Nigerian Battalion, NIBBAT 46, at the Nigerian Army Peace Keeping Centre,
NAPKC, Jaji in Kaduna.
There have been
instances of soldiers, participating in the fight against Boko Haram terrorist,
posting pictures and videos on social media, particularly after victories over
insurgents.
Oyebade was quoted as saying: “It is prohibited to upload any
picture with your uniforms while in operation.
“Specifically, I want to
warn you on the use of social media. While you are on operation, you may want
to take photo shot of some good moment but you should be very careful while
doing that.
“Avoid any picture or
video that has to do with your colleague or operation. You are barred not to
upload such information. It is prohibited to upload any picture with your
uniforms while in operation because it will become pragmatic problems for the
Nigerian Army.”
