Detectives from the anti-narcotics unit in Nairobi have arrested three suspected drug traffickers.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), undercover officers operating on intelligence nabbed a boda boda rider who was found in possession of 222 sachets of heroin stashed in his jacket in Uthiru area.
Upon interrogation, the rider identified as Selestino Inee aged 32 led the security officers to the house of his accomplice who was identified as Pepriter Kadenyi aged 44.
At Kadenyi’s house recovered several items among them where more of the granular substance believed to be heroin was recovered.
“Also recovered was dry weed with a street value of Sh 100,000 wrapped in a manila shopping bag and two digital weighing scales,” said the DCI.
The arrest of the two suspects came a day after another raid in the neighbouring Rirurta Satellite area where detectives recovered 13 sachets of cocaine from 40-year-old Vincent Amufa.
The three suspects are detained at Muthaiga Police Station pending arraignment on Tuesday.
