Police recovered a missing Jericho pistol at Nyabisase Senior C2 School in Nyabisia Sub-location, Masige West Location, Nyamache Sub-County, Kisii County, following an operation mounted after the firearm went missing.
The pistol, which had been issued to a police officer, was surrendered by students through the school’s principal, during a police operation conducted on Thursday evening.
