“The law punishes unlawful possession simpliciter. In other words, as long as the accused person is found in possession of a firearm, it is immaterial whether he intends to use it or whether it belongs to someone else. In the case at hand, assuming the Appellant was truly unaware of the contents of the black nylon in which the gun was found, the lack of knowledge would not have availed him. The offence is a strict liability offence. As long as the accused person is found in possession of a firearm and the three aforementioned ingredients are present, he is guilty for the offence of unlawful possession of firearms. See MOHAMMED V. STATE (2019) 11 NWLR (PT. 1682) 41; STATE V. OLADOTUN (2011) 10 NWLR (PT. 1256) 542.” Per ADAMU JAURO, JSC (Pp 20 – 20; Paras B – E)
