In efforts to combat narcotics trafficking, law enforcement officers have conducted a series of intelligence-led operations across the country, resulting in the arrest of multiple suspects and the seizure of substantial amounts of cannabis sativa.

In Kaimosi, Nandi Central Sub-County, officers from Kaimosi police station intercepted an SUV loaded with cannabis valued at approximately Sh13.4 million. Acting on a tip-off, police set up an ambush for a sky-blue Mazda CX-5 believed to be transporting the illicit cargo along Chavakali-Kapsabet Road. Their efforts paid off as they intercepted the vehicle, uncovering seven sacks of cannabis tipping the scales at 271.3 kilogrammes. Unfortunately, the driver and his accomplice managed to evade capture, abandoning the vehicle at the scene.

In another operation at Ngariga Junction along the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway in Kiambu County, detectives from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) and the Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU) intercepted a public service vehicle. In this raid, a 32-year-old passenger, Francis Oteba, was arrested after he was found in possession of five bales of bang cleverly concealed in his black bag.

Meanwhile, in Kisii County, ANU detectives struck again, apprehending Nancy Moraa, Phylis Matundura Mogaka, and Andrew Makokha Cheng'oli. The trio was caught red-handed with 10 kilogrammes of bhang, alongside Sh63,335, suspected to be proceeds from their illicit activities.

These coordinated operations underscore the unwavering commitment of law enforcement agencies to dismantle narcotics trafficking networks, disrupt the illicit drug trade, and protect communities from the devastating effects of drug abuse.
