Police officers from South B Police Station in Makadara Sub-County, Nairobi Region, on Wednesday conducted a targeted operation along the Ngong River in the Kayaba slums, leading to the recovery of suspected narcotics.
The operation, led by the Officer Commanding Station (OCS), saw officers raid a shanty where they recovered six kilograms of a substance believed to be cannabis sativa, along with 29 rolls of a green plant material also suspected to be cannabis.
The drugs are believed to have been intended for distribution within the area.
In a separate incident later the same evening, officers from Kahawa West Police Station in Kasarani Sub-County arrested a suspect during a routine patrol in the Kenyatta Market area.
The suspect was found in possession of 150 rolls of a substance suspected to be cannabis sativa, as well as three cookies believed to have been prepared using cannabis.
Following the two operations, a total of four suspects were arrested and placed in police custody pending arraignment in court.
Police said the operations demonstrate the National Police Service’s continued commitment to combating drug trafficking and safeguarding communities from the harmful effects of narcotics.
They also emphasized the importance of public cooperation in supporting security and law enforcement efforts.
