NDLEA Warns Skit Makers Against Using Its Logo, Jackets
Skit creators have been warned by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The NDLEA has cautioned skit creators not to use its logo or jackets in their productions.
The warning was given by the NDLEA's Director of Media and Advocacy, Mr Femi Babafemi, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Babafemi advised people who like exploiting official clothing to mislead and create false impressions to brace themselves for the repercussions.
He was responding to a popular video showing some people wearing red jackets identical to those worn by agency officers and men, which the Agency had denied a year ago.
The spokesman said that the agency had in a well-publicised statement on May 21, 2022, stated that the video was a skit produced by one Mathew C Eze who lived in the Lekki area of Lagos.
“A year after, the video has returned to the social media space, a development that has led to several enquiries from concerned members of the public on the authenticity of the content of the video.
“We will like to reiterate again that the confusion the controversial video has created in the minds of members of the public underscores the need for some social media content producers to show restraint.
“Also, they need to show responsibility and decorum in how they misuse paraphernalia of law enforcement officers, to avoid misconceptions and insinuations,” he said.
