Hmm.

The guy should be properly investigated because armed robbers have used fake guns to rob innocent people of their valuables.

How many times have u seen Dane guns used for movies? U don see zubby Micheal or hanks anuku dey hold Dane gun dey fight? Those Dane guns I see there are used by bandits mostly..... What do I know sha.... All I know is thah those guns look very real to me and don't look like toys in anyway

femlad97:
Don't blame police....with the kind insecurity in nigeria now.....see whether prop gun or toy guns anybody carrying riffle of any kind without warrant or papers to do so....should be arrrested

Ofiadiegwu:


Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, remember.

The guy needed to have obtained permission from the Police to venture into this.

The law regulating Robbery and Fire Arms Act. Provides that if a person robs people with fake gun, he will be liable to penalties just like someone who used real guns....

summary: everything we do, each day has legal implications.
So, we must be close to the law and lawyers. Not alienated from our laws and the law enforcement agents.

PerfectlyPerfect:

and that warrants his incarceration and public humiliation? What was professional in this rubbish by the NPF? If they had done any investigation, they would've known what the guns were for, but instead they rushed to parade him in their usual style. In which sane country have you ever seen where people are paraded without being convicted of crimes? Do you have sense at all?

Abi ooo.

The guy was arrested with locally made guns and not toys.

But if this is true beyond doubt, then why would some actors and actresses stick their necks out for him and claim he does the work for them as stated in the article? I don't think people who are well known and can be traced would make baseless claims that he is innocent, because they could be implicated.

give me the license name required before takin possession of fake guns




And as well go to the toy shop for kids and arrest them..... Ingrate



























These guys I quoted are really daft ooo.

Where is his license from the authorities that gave him permission to manufacture and transport firearms?. That he procures fake guns for movie makers don't make him above the law.

Akwa born Hypeman @romeocza: 'Yesterday, the AKS police command parades a man on Channels TV, as a welder who produces guns for Criminals. Today, turns out the young man was a PROPS guy in the movie industry, with wooden fake guns. The NPF never did any prior investigation, that's how they kill innocents."

losky83:
THOSE THINGS ARE NOT REAL GUNS AND DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO STORE BULLET OR SHOOT A BULLET.THEY ARE MORE LIKE WOODEN TOYS BUT THE POLICE HAVE IN THEIR STATEMENT MADE US TO FEEL THAT THE GUNS ARE REAL.
MY OWN ADVICE IS THAT THE POLICE SHOULD RECRUIT WELL QUALIFIED GRADUATES AS DETECTIVES RATHER THAN THOSE WHO PICK INNOCENT PEOPLE TO KILL AND GET PROMOTED.SOME OF THEM FIND ENGLISH VERY DIFFICULT TO SPEAK.IF NIGERIA WAS LIKE MEXICO WHERE THERE ARE DEVLISH GANGS,THESE POLICE OFFICERS WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL KNOWING THAT THEY COULD PICK THE INNOCENT BROTHER,SISTER,COUSIN,FATHER OR MOTHER OF A KINGPIN AND THAT COULD ERASE THEIR ENTIRE GENERATION.

Terrence99:
Wawu. If this guy gets a good lawyer, he will not be making prop guns again. Sue the Hell out of the police, get paid in millions and travel out of Naija to study filmmaking properly in Europe.

haslaw:



Criminal olodo wey you be.. Does those guns look like toys to you? Those guns are real locally made guns but very dangerous.

Many innocent Nigerians have lost their lives in the hands of armed robbers, bandits and boko haram members wielding locally made guns such as this.
