The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has warned against the misuse of military images and visuals for political advertisements.

The military is issuing the warning against the backdrop of a series of videos allegedly doctored to portray Nigerian soldiers mocking one of the presidential candidates.

Jimmy Akpor, director of defence information on Wednesday, said the doctored videos were intended by mischiefs to project the military as being partisan.

Such misuse, he said, presents the military in bad light and could sow seeds of discord in the country.
You will recall in September, Faruk Yahaya, the chief of army staff, had urged commanding officers to remain apolitical in the discharge of their duties.
