Will Nigerian Army Send Danny Young To Prison?

What happened to a once highly disciplined Nigeria? A Nigeria where customs and traditions were respected. A Nigeria where the National Anthem was always the pride of the nation. But today, it looks as if anything goes in Nigeria without anyone caring about the situation.

When entertainers are supposed to help build the country, some are helping to mock it and Nigerian music act, Danny Young, has joined the list of artistes mocking the country especially the Nigerian military.

The singer took the Nigerian Army uniform of his friend to wear, which is against the law.

According to Section 109 of the Criminal Code: Any person who, not being a person serving in the armed forces of Nigeria nor a member of the police forces, and with intent that he may be taken to be such a person or member as aforesaid-

(a) wears any part of the uniform of, or

(b) wears any garb resembling any part of the uniform of, a person serving in the armed forces of Nigeria, or a member of the police forces, is guilty of a misdemeanour and is liable to imprisonment for one year.

Will the army authorities prosecute Danny Young for this act of his?
