Tanzanian police on Monday warned owners of illegal firearms to voluntarily surrender them before the deadline of midnight local time on Tuesday.

A statement by the Tanzania Police Force said after the voluntary surrender of illegal firearms elapses, the police will launch a fierce crackdown on owners of illegal firearms, warning that those found in possession of firearms will be prosecuted in court.
