Police have arrested two suspects, David Kinyanjui and his Burundian accomplice, Bien Neureux Kanyarushatsi for planting bhang on a half-acre land in Kikuyu, Kiambu County.
In a statement, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reported that the suspects were arrested on Wednesday March 18, 2025, and the bhang was uprooted and taken to Kikuyu police station.
“The discovery and subsequent arrest of the two followed a tip-off from a concerned member of the public, who noted that some unholy herbs were greening Kidifamaco Estate of Kikuyu, making their maize and potato plantations look like a big joke,” the DCI said.
Police and NGAO officers had to fold their sleeves for a day in the shamba, uprooting the bhang as Kinyanjui and his Burundian farmhand watched from the rear seats of a police vehicle.
After the exercise, the suspects were escorted to Kikuyu Police Station for processing ahead of their arraignment on Wednesday, March 19.
