“Regrettably, the time given for such had elapsed. Therefore, anybody still keeping any weapon runs the risk of being arrested and prosecuted and made to face the full weight of the law.

“Government will go out to fully implement that directive and ensure that all bandits no matter where they are, are discovered and brought to book.”
