Detectives have apprehended two suspects and confiscated three bales of bhang in Busia.

In a statement by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, the suspects, Ferdinand Wanjero, 29, and Daniel Juma Mwadimwa, 26, were arrested after members of the public reported suspicious activity.

The two men were seen at the busy Busia bus station preparing to board a Climax bus bound for Nairobi, carrying backpacks that aroused suspicion.

“Detectives from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) Busia have arrested two suspected drug traffickers and seized three bales of bhang stashed in backpacks believed to have been destined for the capital, Nairobi,” the DCI stated.

Adding;

“Ferdinand Wanjero, 29, and Daniel Juma Mwadimwa, 26, were arrested following information from members of the public that two men were spotted at the bustling Busia bus station, preparing to board a Climax bus bound for Nairobi, carrying suspected narcotics in their bags.”

DCI said the anti-narcotics officers acted swiftly on the tip-off and conducted a thorough search of the suspects’ backpacks. The search revealed 12 kilograms of cannabis sativa, with an estimated street value of Ksh360,000.

This comes barely a month after detectives made a bhang seizure in Utawala.

In a statement on Tuesday, April 30, DCI said the operation targeted the residence of a suspected notorious trafficker, Joseph Nisa Ouma.

Joseph Nisa Ouma had been temporarily released from Muthaiga police cells for a search in his Utawala AP Stage house, where the recoveries were made including a digital weighing scale,” DCI said.
