Hundeyin showed him a section of the Criminal Act which indicates that anyone found in any places in possession of any firearms whether real or imitation is liable to be sentenced to not less than 14 years imprisonment.

The man, whose Twitter handle is @Frankliinnnnn, told Hundeyin that his friend, who he described as a skit maker, was arrested by policemen at the Ojo area of the state on his way from where he went to shoot a video.

He added that when the policemen searched his car, they saw a “toy gun” which the man said he used for the purpose of the skit making.

The man alleged that the policemen who arrested him did not tell him his offence as the officers were said to have transferred him to the Special Force in Ikeja for more interrogation.
