According to the National Police Service, the firearms were recovered following an operation in Katilu.

This includes 21 AK-47 rifles, 2 M16 rifles, 2 MK4 firearms, and 1 G3 rifle.

"This achievement continues to reflect growing community cooperation and the effectiveness of ongoing sensitisation efforts encouraging individuals to relinquish illegal weapons," police said.
