TUARAN: Sabah police are awaiting further instructions on the revocation of licences granted for the ownership of rifles in the state, found to have been misused for illegal hunting activities.

Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Omar Mammah said a review of the firearm licence ownership would be made once the instructions were received.

“If we are instructed to revoke (the licence), we will review all applications,” he told reporters after a crime prevention programme here today.
