Police in Nairobi are holding two suspects for allegedly trafficking 89 bales of cannabis sativa on Garissa Road in Thika.
In an operation launched by Directorate of Criminal Investigations’ (DCI) Special Service Unit, Hassan Adaalim, 25 and Shedrack Maangi, 35, were arrested after a Nairobi-bound lorry christened Rhino Cement was intercepted.
The SSU sleuths were acting on an intelligence report, of a notorious criminal syndicate that guises as serious builders of the nation, while trading in the illegal drug from Wajir using branded vehicles.
“Upon interception, search and confiscation of the stowed stockpile, the two occupants and the KBS 601 M Mercedes Benz were escorted to DCI Headquarters, where the Anti-Nacortics detectives took over the case for further investigations,” stated DCI.
The lorry has since been imponded.
