*THINGS THAT CANNOT BE PHOTOGRAPHED OR RECORDED IN
NIGERIA, AT TIMES. *

Irrespective of fundamental human rights, during periods of
emergency, the President of Nigeria, may make an Order that no
person shall photograph, sketch or by any means make any record of
descriptions of any thing designed or used for defence purposes.
Periods of emergency includes times of war, breakdown of public
order, public safety, disaster and natural calamity, among
others.

Contravening such order is a criminal offence punishable with
imprisonment for not more than 14 years when conviction on
indictment but punishable with imprisonment for not more than 2
years and or fine of not more than #200.00.

My authorities are;
1. Sections 3, 7 and 10 of the Official Secrets Act, 1962.
2. Sections 45, 305 and 319 of the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria 1999.
