The Joint Security Agencies, have banned the selling and vending of raw weapons/tools like hoes, pangas, knives and other sharp objects on the streets by vendors and hawkers. They further issued directives to all territorial commanders to confiscate any raw weapon sold on the streets because of their contribution to crime and their impact on public safety and security.
Security believes the confiscation of such tools, that can easily be used as weapons, will help mitigate the risks of safety and security, neighborhoods, on motorists and other road users.
