misinformation

Except for Firearms, none of the items you listed up there are in Exclusive Import Prohibition List.
Meaning, you are allowed to bring them in but not in commercial quantities.

A dozen and above quantity is considered commercial (though not an hard and fast rule).

Thanks for response.

You will probably then be better armed than Nigerian police or security.
They may give you a good kicking / slap just for this!

To import any weapons you probably need a police permit
(or be brother of someone rich!)

My person, are sure about this? Even pepper spray? Haba!!!!

No I am not a lawyer so I am not sure.
But I would not want those customs or security guys causing trouble
They can just make up there own rules.
Better to be safe than beaten up sorry

Prehaps someone can quote Nigerian law.

Airline regulations forbid carrying knives because they are cconsidered as dangerous goods.
If it is put in cargo and is not the menacing type you will pass.
Customs is interested in goods for duty revenue majorly and not witch hunting.
Although I agree security is also part of their job
