Pepper spray (also known as capsicum spray) is a
lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that
irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and temporary
blindness) used in policing, riot control, crowd control,
and self-defense, including defense against dogs and
bears.
In Nigeria, it has come to our knowledge that possessing
that spray in public is illegal and it might get you arrested.
This was evident in a reply to a twitter user who according
to her was in poice custody because she was found with a
pepper spray.
The user with the handle @yoitspizzu tweeted ;

Yomi Shogunle, who is the assistant Commisioner of
Police in the state replied ;

Pepper spray is an offensive weapon, Nigeria �� Law
prohibits going armed in the public.
