An illegal AK47 rifle was surrendered on Thursday from Samburu, following an ongoing operation of disarming illegally armed in the Northern area.
The firearm loaded with five rounds of ammunition was surrendered by a resident of Bendera village through the deputy county Commissioner of Samburu North.
The National Police Service said the security operation being conducted by a multi-agency team has continued to register success as more illegal firearms continue to be voluntarily surrendered.
The operation started on Friday, February 17.
On Tuesday, President William Ruto announced the start of a three-day voluntary disarmament exercise across six bandit-prone counties of Samburu, Turkana, Elgeyo Marakwet, West Pokot, Baringo and Laikipia.
He said there would be no repercussions for those who will surrender illegal guns within the amnesty period.
Interior cabinet secretary Kithure Kindiki on Monday said marauding bandits and livestock rustling terrorists have brutally murdered over 100 civilians and 16 police officers in the Northern Rift Valley region.
The CS imposed a 30-day dusk-to-dawn curfew in some banditry-hit areas to set the pace for the operation.
The CS gazetted areas in six counties, including Turkana, West Pokot, Elgeyo Marakwet, Baringo, Laikipia and Samburu, that would observe the curfew.
In the order, there shall be no public gatherings, processions, or movements, either alone or as a group, during the period of the curfew except as has been permitted in writing by the Inspector-General of the National Police Service.
