He was paraded alongside a second man, Victor Jacob from Benue State, whom he had sent to buy the mattress. Odigie, said he returned to Nigeria for his sister's wedding and has been carrying the gun around for his personal protection because of the insecurity situation in Nigeria.



He explained that on the fateful day, he sent Victor Jacob to
buy him a mattress. However, when Victor returned with the
mattress, he was not pleased with the quality so he returned
it to the store. However, he said that when he asked for his money back - 54, 000 Naira - the mattress sellers were not forthcoming. His demand for a refund is said to have caused a scene and attracted people who then searched him and found a gun on him. Larry Odigie, said he relocated to America at the age of 9, insisted that the gun was not to cause harm to anyone, rather it was for his protection.



He also said that he's a medical doctor in the United States.
However, the vigilante and police officer who paraded him
accused him of being a criminal but Odigie kept insisting that he's innocent and asked them to check the gun to see that it has never been fired.

The man came from the US to exhibit his folly and he has been made to understand the real meaning of zoo.

Let the police do proper investigation, ascertain if he is lying and if he is not free him on bail while if he is lying he should be persecuted...

I just hope proper investigation has been made before this parade

Everyone knows firearms and semiautomatics are prohibited except you are Fulani.. a gun can get you in deep mess

Check his passport, check the gun if he has fired shot from it before. Check the gun license. If all are intact, free him and seize the gun. If he's ready to go back to the states, give him back his gun.

This one don enter armed robbers motor..

With the level of insecurity in Nigeria, I think there is nothing wrong if someone decide to own a gun for protection. But not for the purpose of intimidating others.

Speak their language and watch miracles happen ... don't you know there is universal language in Nigeria and it has to do with offering something that starts with B
