Twitter personality, Daniel Regha, opposes billionaire senator, Ned Nwoko's proposed bill to allow Nigerians to bear arms for self-defense.
Insecurity issues across the nation prompted Ned Nwoko to propose the bill, aiming to enable Nigerians to bear arms for self-defense.
Daniel ReghaDaniel Regha argues that support for the proposed gun legislation should be discouraged, fearing it would exacerbate insecurity problems.
He questions the assurance that the arms wouldn't be abused or fall into the wrong hands.
Ned NwokoRegha notes how easily people resort to violence even over minor disputes and warns that legalizing firearms could exacerbate existing problems.
In his statement, he says: “Ned Nwoko’s firearms bill should not be encouraged; This willn’t solve the insecurity issue but only worsen it. Let’s assume Nigerians are allowed to obtain firearms (legally), what’s the guarantee that majority won’t missue it, or that these arms won’t end up in the hands of criminals? We have seen how many people break bottles over little arguments/misunderstandings, let’s not add to our problems.”
