The uniform worn by Nigerian female police officers about 69 years ago before independence could have passed for a nice church wear.
Above is an old picture of female members of the Nigeria Police Force during a parade in Sokoto, northern part of Nigeria taken in 1948.The women reportedly belong to the regular unit of the Nigeria Police Force as they were inspected by a male superior before a patrol in the North-West geopolitical zone.
Just as the police has been modernized and restructured over the years, the uniform has been improved upon to suit the current taste of clothing to go with the 21st century world.
The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) established in 1820 is the principal law enforcement agency in Nigeria with a staff strength of about 371,800 now. There are plans currently to increase the force to 650,000.
The NP is a very large organization consisting of 36 State commands grouped into 12 zones and 7 administrative organs. The agency is currently headed by IGP Ibrahim Kpotun Idris.

“The uniform worn by Nigerian female police officers about 69 years ago before independence…..”
According to the story, the referenced picture was taken in 1948, which was a mere 12 years, not 69 years, before independence — obtained by Nigeria in 1960.
Please be watchful your sentence construction over mistakes of this nature. My guess is that you intended to convey that the picture was taken 69 years ago when Nigeria was not yet independent, but in reality, that was not what you conveyed.
