In Nigeria, possession of Fire Arms is generally prohibited, but persons may be granted licence to possess them.

However licence shall not be granted if the applicant:

(a) is under age seventeen;

(b) is of unsound mind;

(c) has defective eyesight;

(d) is a person of intemperate habits;

(e) has during the previous five years been convicted of an offence involving violence or the threat of violence

An application for licence may be granted or refused.

A person aggrieved by a decision refusing his application for a licence may Appeal in writing to the President of Nigeria.

The verdict of the President shall be final and no further appeal shall arise therefrom.
