Unregistered Handgun Owners

The Nigeria Police Criminal Intelligence Bureau believes that there are as many as a million unregistered handgun owners in the country.

Bakassi Boy members said that that they use handguns, assault rifles, locally made pistols and cutlasses for their vigilante activities and operations:

"We use assault rifles and colt pistols for our vigilante operations because these criminals now use high calibre guns. We use AK-47s made in the Ukraine."
