Two illegal firearms have been voluntarily surrendered to the National Police Service in Isiolo County, in a move authorities say reflects growing public cooperation in ongoing security efforts.
The surrender took place on Monday, April 13, 2026, when two residents from the Lowangila area in Isiolo North Sub-County handed over an AK-47 rifle and a G3 rifle to police officers. The development is part of the ongoing “Operation Dumisha Usalama,” a nationwide initiative aimed at curbing illegal firearms and enhancing public safety.
According to police, the firearms, along with accompanying magazines and ammunition, have been securely stored in the station armoury as investigations and further procedures continue.
The National Police Service commended members of the public for their continued cooperation, noting that such actions play a critical role in restoring peace and security in the region.
Authorities have also urged individuals still in possession of illegal weapons to take advantage of the ongoing amnesty period by surrendering them to the nearest police station without fear of prosecution.
“Operation Dumisha Usalama” remains active across various parts of the country, with security agencies emphasizing community involvement as key to eliminating illegal firearms and ensuring long-term stability in affected areas.
Police say the latest surrender is a positive step toward making Isiolo and its surrounding regions safer for residents.
