Nigerian politician Ned Nwoko has recently joined the growing debate about gun ownership in Nigeria, advocating for the right of Nigerians to bear arms. Nwoko’s stance adds to a list of other prominent political figures in the country who have expressed similar views, including the House of Representatives Majority Leader Alhassan Ado-Doguwa and the former Governor of Benue State Samuel Ortom.
The issue of gun rights in Nigeria is a matter of significant public interest and has sparked discussions about security, self-defense, and government policies.
