A multi-agency team arrested four foreigners and one Kenyan in Kitengela for possession of cocaine.<\/p>\n

The team, consisting of regular police officers and detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), raided the suspects’ apartment in Beckvike Homes in the early hours of Wednesday, August 30, 2023.<\/p>\n

The four foreigners were identified as Ali Abubakar, Mohammed Kassim, Saad Salim, and Rosse Paul Tito. The Kenyan suspect was named Nancy Munyota.<\/p>\n

A search of the apartment revealed 143 pellets of cocaine stashed in empty packets of fruit juice. The detectives also recovered digital weighing machines, $245 USD, Ksh26,100, Tsh11,000, Indian Rupees, and mobile phones.<\/p>\n

The locals in the area had raised concerns about the suspects’ activities, and the police were tipped off about their drug trafficking operation.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that the DCI has arrested suspects in connection with drug trafficking. In August 2023, the sleuths arrested a businesswoman known as Nancy Kigunzu, popularly known as “Mathe wa Ngara”, for her alleged involvement in a drugs haul in Ngara, Nairobi.<\/p>\n

Kigunzu was denied bail and is currently being held at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) police post.<\/p>\n

The arrests of the suspects in Kitengela and Kigunzu are a clear indication that the DCI is committed to cracking down on drug trafficking in Kenya.<\/p>\n

I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
