‘Get Licences for Fake Guns’, Kanayo O. Kanayo Warns Colleagues in Nollywood Over Delta Police Murder

Outspoken Kanayo O. Kanayo has sparked fresh debate following the controversial killing of Mene Ogidi in Delta State, using the tragedy to issue a stern warning to his colleagues in Nollywood. In an emotional reaction, the veteran actor urged filmmakers and actors who use imitation weapons on movie sets to immediately visit the nearest police headquarters or command to obtain proper licences for fake guns.

His remarks reflect growing fears over how prop weapons are perceived by law enforcement, especially after reports that Ogidi was allegedly killed during a police operation linked to a firearm-related suspicion. Kanayo’s statement has since drawn widespread attention, with many seeing it as both a wake-up call to the entertainment industry and a sharp criticism of policing practices that can turn deadly.

That was not what he meant.

He is saying just in case it puts an actor in a bad situation, the license will help them be pronounced not a criminal.

Not just the police that killed the man, the other police officers that were present should also be tried and prosecuted.

That's if they ask to see a gun license before bullets end up in your skull.

Criminals will obtain a licence for a fake gun but use a real one. When they are caught, they will deny it, and the court may set them free because the evidence suggests they only possessed a fake gun.

Yes. But only hunting gun ie those that fire cartrage. But few years ago one IG under buhari banned the renewal or issuance of license saying people should submit their firearms.
