“A multi-agency team has intercepted a long-haul truck and recovered a significant haul of cannabis sativa, netting four traffickers.
The operation, which played out on the busy Moyale-Isiolo highway, saw officers flag down a Mercedes-Benz Actros, registration number KCS 906K/ZG 01642, driven by 33-year-old Boniface Nthenge Kithuku.
A search of the truck revealed gunny bags stuffed with tightly packed bales of cannabis, each bundle wrapped in yellowish cellotape and cunningly stashed within the truck’s chassis. The concealment technique suggested a well-coordinated drug trafficking attempt.
Alongside the driver, three other suspects, Amos Murithi, Justus Mutisya Mutia, and Titus Nthenge Kituu, were arrested on the spot.
The suspects, along with the illicit cargo, were escorted to Isiolo Police Station, where they are currently being processed ahead of a court appearance.” said DCI
