Security officers deployed to restore peace and order in West Pokot County, northern Kenya, recovered a gun that was being held by the public illegally.
An AK47 rifle with a loaded magazine was surrendered to officers on patrol by an unnamed member of the public.
The latest firearm adds to the 40 rifles and 200 ammunition that police have recovered through the peaceful disarmament exercise in West Pokot County since June this year.
