Please always do a search before opening a thread. This question have been asked severally here and it has also been answered. No weapon is licensed for self defense in Nigeria. In Nigeria the security agencies are to protect you. Those private individuals that have guns in Nigeria are hunters and only hunting weapons can be licensed for them such as Dane guns, pump action etc. Recently another category of civilians with weapons are the vigilante. So either you are a vigilante or a hunter you are not allowed to brandish weapon in public else you will be arrested. |

khadaffi:Humm! Quite educative, many thanks. Yet I can't reconcile this with "right to self defence". It means it doesn't exist when you are under fire arm attack. It sounds as if we are put in a cage. 1 Like |

waldigit: This is the position in Nigeria. Unfortunately anytime this argument comes up I am always in support that decent and law abiding Nigerians should be given weapons to protect themselves because personally I believe that if violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police and he fears neither law court or judge. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim. |
