WAR ON ILLICIT DRUGS CONTINUES
In the ongoing operations targeting sale, distribution and consumption of narcotic drugs, a multi-agency security team operating at the Sabaki Bridge roadblock in Msufini has intercepted a red motorcycle (KMGA 434P) and conducted a search leading to the discovery of 50 rolls of dry plant material wrapped in khaki papers and two bundles of loose dry plant material wrapped in old newspapers, all suspected to be cannabis.
These items were found stuffed in a yellowish gunny bag held by a pillion passenger namely John Hero Komora, 31. All three occupants of the motorcycle have been arrested and are currently in custody, awaiting arraignment.
In a separate operation, detectives from the Transnational Organized Crimes Unit and the Anti-Narcotic Unit, acting on information from the public, raided Mutete Flats in Athi River, Machakos County. The raid targeted the residence of Teresia Mwikali Amukua, where authorities recovered two greenish gunny sacks and four packages of greenish dry plant material, which are suspected to be cannabis. In addition to the suspected drugs, the search also uncovered empty gunny sacks, polythene papers, a debit card, and a weighing scale.
Teresia Mwikali Amukua has been detained at Muthaiga Police Station. She will face charges at the JKIA Law Courts.
The coordinated efforts in these operations reflect a strong commitment to tackling drug trafficking around the nation. They also demonstrate the effectiveness of joint operations and public cooperation in combating illegal drug activities while ensuring those involved are held to account.
