A Nigerian Army officer has run into trouble for posting a video clip of his wedding on social media.

The Nigerian Army has been asked to punish E. Ali, a lieutenant, as well as 13 other officers who attended the wedding, for allegedly flouting army traditions at the event.

In an internal memo dated 28 October, seen by TIMES, the military police said the officers violated the army traditions on social media usage, dressing and etiquette on military marriage.

The Military Police said an investigation revealed that the officers breached the Nigerian Army code of ethics in the incident. It also charged them with “disobedience to standing order” and recommended punishment for the alleged infractions.

The memo was signed by NH Longpoe, a lieutenant colonel in the Military Police, and was received by the Nigerian Army on 7 November.

According to the memo, the groom posted video clips from the wedding on a WhatsApp group page he shares with his course mates.

The memo did not state the names of other affected officers, or when and where the wedding took place.

“Lt E Ali (N/18406) should be charged with Disobedience to Standing Order punishable under Section 57(1) of the AFA CAP A20 LFN: 2004 for contravening Paragraph 11 (g) of the DHQ Policy on the use of Social Media for the FN 2018 by posting his wedding video clips on D$SC Course 25 WhatsApp forum,” the memo reads.

What did they go to do on social media to find out he has posted his pictures and videos?.. he should also charge the duty military police duty sergeant for excessive time on social media

Okay oh. Next...

It serves the groom and his friends right. Do you know why? Nigerian soldiers abuse military uniform and traditions so much. They use their military uniform and traditions to intimidate and humiliate civilians. The same uniform and traditions they can't use to defeat Boko Haram. A soldier will jumb queue at ATMs without even begging the civilians at the queue. Someone will buy soldiers few bottles of beer and the soldiers will unleash jungle justice on a civilian that has a misunderstanding with the beer buyer.

Abeg free the guy

Na wa

Abeg free the guy

Why should they? Didn't he know what he signed up for?

A mindset like yours is one of the reasons our country is so messed up.

Every military man knows about the institution's social media policy. If he can't adhere to it, he should leave and become a civilian. That way he can post anyhow he wants to without anyone raising an eyebrow.

See as officers lie down for ground

Society breaks when rules are not strictly applied.
