The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, has warned newly enlisted soldiers against the unauthorised use of social media, stressing that the publication of operational information, images of military activities, sensitive locations or unverified content constitutes a serious breach of military regulations.

He cautioned that violations of the Nigerian Army’s social media policy could attract disciplinary measures, including dismissal from service.

The Army Chief gave the warning on Wednesday during the Passing Out Parade of the pioneer intake of recruits at the Nigerian Army Training Depot, Amasiri-Edda, in Ebonyi State.
