ARGINGU LOCAL ADMNISTRATION POLICE SERGENT- HAUSA

Up to around1954 it was customary throughout Northern Nigeria for the local administration police force to have their own distinctive uniforms.This,in the interests of economy and efficiency,has had to give way to the inevitable khaki shirt and shorts.

Th distinctive old uniform of the police of Argungu consisted of a dark blue long jacket and turkish type trousers,finally cut on top and tightly fitting around the lower leg.The head covering consisted of a dark blue Kilmarnock cap with pompom. Any of the Hausa peoples are slight in form and are noted for their long slender necks,hands and fingers.
