On Thursday, police in Migori County apprehended a 32-year-old man suspected of drug trafficking and confiscated a significant amount of bhang worth around Ksh.13.7 million.
Following a tip-off, officers from Oruba Police Station stopped a black Toyota Kluger, registration number KBS 517N, which was being driven by Edwin Okondo Nyagaga, on the Giribe-Masara Road.
The vehicle was loaded with illegal goods, containing eight sacks of bhang that weighed a total of 457.6 kilograms.
In addition to the drugs, authorities also found four license plates—KBP 716H, KBT 673F, KBW 341T, and KBX 142P—that are suspected to have been used to disguise the vehicle’s identity during the trafficking activities.
Okondo, along with the seized narcotics and vehicle, was taken to Oruba Police Station for processing and will be arraigned soon.
