Seven suspects are in police custody after they were arrested over possession of bhang in Nairobi.
The suspects were nabbed following a sting operation conducted by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The seven suspects have been identified as Alex Murimi, Woche Sipa, Clinton Odinga, Kevin Kimani, Mohamed Wako, John Chege and Hassan Yussuf.
“Seven suspects were arrested over the weekend and narcotic drugs recovered in an operation conducted by Starehe-based detectives in Huruma,” the DCI said.
The raid was conducted following a tip off from members of the public. “Over 10 kilograms of bhang, 450 rolls of the same substance, weighing scales, daggers and gas cylinders were recovered.”
They are set to face charges of trafficking narcotic drugs, being in possession of narcotic drugs and preparation to commit a felony.
Meanwhile, a vehicle used to distribute the highly addictive drug in various parts of the city was also impounded.
