I don't know what board to post this.
This morning around 3 AM till 6 AM (Yes, they took their time), I was robbed, making it the sixth time in less than seven months (the third time this year) that I have been robbed, albeit not all took place in my apartment.
Sadly, there are no emergency numbers one could call, hence no police to come to one's rescue; so, I feel it's best I protect myself.
Can private citizens own firearms in Nigeria? If yes, how does one go about getting a license? I was thinking of acquiring a SIG Pro semi-automatic pistol. I can handle the weapon -- I took shooting classes couple years ago in the US.

Please, I need professional inputs.

Thanks

Sorry about that Sir,
First of all, there are emergency numbers to call. Just go to the nearest police station they will give you the numbers.

Secondly, I terms of getting a fire arm...enquire from a senior police officer or possibly meet the the Area DPO he will guide you on how to get one.

What about the response time sir? its nothing that can save one from a armed robbery

So the law allows it? want to be sure before having to ask a police officer.

Yes, I know of some people who have firearms in my area. Just get it registered and have the necessary papers.
But honestly, I don't think getting a registered firearm is easy, it needs alot of connections and money cuz most of those who have it that I know of are rich.
