Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has prohibited the possession of firearms in 13 specific areas within Marsabit County, effective September 11. This directive comes after Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen declared these areas "security disturbed and dangerous," a declaration recently extended for 30 days.

• Individuals in the affected areas must surrender firearms to the nearest police or government administrative offices for safe custody, not permanent confiscation.
• The 13 areas include Hillo Gorgora, Hillo Orofa, Hillo Walkite, Hillo Tanzania, Hillo Irress Abamartille, Hillo Gootu, Hillo Tessum Qalicha, Hillo Karray, Hillo Hudda, Hillo Qoranjido, Hillo Irress Shindia, Hillo Rabaalee, and Hillo Godde Haroressa.
• The extended "security disturbed and dangerous" declaration by CS Murkomen began on September 13, 2025, at 6:30 PM and will last for 30 days.
