TRAFFICKER IN CUSTODY AS AUTHORITIES SEIZE BHANG WORTH OVER SH2.1 MILLION

Police Officers at the Ferry Island Lockup have arrested a trafficker and seized bhang valued at Sh2,130,000. This bust resulted from a routine police check, where officers stopped a blue Piaggio tuk-tuk, registration number KTWC 327M, for inspection.

Surprisingly, the driver abandoned the tuk-tuk and fled the scene, leaving behind a passenger and four bags. The officers promptly escorted the tuk-tuk, passenger, and luggage to the Ferry Police Station for further investigation.

Upon interrogation, the passenger, identified as 35-year-old Betty Valley Sangara, admitted to being the owner of the bags. A search of her luggage unearthed 909 rolls of bhang, weighing a total of 71 kilograms.

Betty is currently undergoing processing pending arraignment.
