Two drug traffickers were arrested yesterday by anti-narcotics detectives and drugs suspected to be heroin recovered during the early morning raid.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), a total of 222 sachets of the highly addictive drug were recovered from a boda boda rider in Uthiru area, who is believed to have been making deliveries to potential clients.
The undercover sleuths pounced on Selestino Inee, 32, who was ferrying the drugs stashed in his jacket using a motorbike registration number KMEY 571Y.
“The suspect led the detectives to his accomplice’s house Pepriter Kadenyi, 44, where a further recovery of the granular substance 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,” the DCI said.
The arrest of the duo followed an operation in neighbouring Rirurta Satellite the previous day, where the detectives recovered 13 sachets of cocaine from one Vincent Amufa, 40.
The three suspects are currently in custody at Muthaiga police station pending their arraignment in court next week on Tuesday.
According to DCI, this operation was made possible through information received from members of the public through the #FichuakwaDCI hotline 0800 722 203.
