Nigerian singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka (popularly known as Ruger) has revealed that he owns two firearms.
The Blown Boy boss disclosed this while discussing the inspiration behind his stage name in a recent interview with content creator, Timi Agbaje.
The interviewer asked, “What is the inspiration behind the name Ruger?”
Ruger replied, “It’s a gun, mehn.”
The interviewer asked, “It’s a gun? So you have a gun?”
Ruger replied, “Yeah, I do. I have two.”
The singer did not disclose whether the guns he owns are licensed or not.
The Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, said last year that there is “a temporary ban on the issuance of firearms,” stressing that the force is “mopping up arms in circulation.”
He added, “we may review it later, but we are not issuing firearms licenses nationwide now”.
