Nyathi warned members of the public who illegally possess firearms, adding that offenders would face the wrath of the law.

This comes at the backdrop of a surge in the number of reported armed robberies around the country where live ammunition is being used.

Recently, it was reported that armed robbers pounced on two service stations in Bulawayo, bound attendants, sold fuel for three hours, collected the money and disappeared.

Fears abound that lawlessness will rise if the government does not take stern measures before it is too late.
