Suspected drug traffickers arrested in Busia, cannabis worth Ksh 360,000 siezed

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

Ferdinand Wanjero, 29, and Daniel Juma Mwadimwa, 26, were arrested following a tip-off from members of the public who reported seeing the two men at the Busia bus station preparing to board a Climax bus to Nairobi with suspected narcotics in their bags.

Anti-narcotics officers responded swiftly and managed to arrest the suspects.

A thorough search revealed 12kg of cannabis sativa with an approximate street value of Ksh 360,000.

Legal processes have been initiated against the duo.
