The Tanzanian Police Force in Dodoma has issued a warning to individuals possessing illegal firearms, urging them to surrender the weapons before the conclusion of a national voluntary surrender campaign. Authorities announced that nationwide arrests and prosecutions for those holding illegal guns will commence on November 1, leaving an 11-day window for compliance.
Since the launch of the initiative, a total of 230 firearms have been voluntarily surrendered to law enforcement. The campaign provides a final opportunity for holders of unauthorized weapons to comply with the law before mandatory enforcement actions and legal consequences take effect.
