In a related development, two more suspects have been detained in connection with a broader operation aimed at combating drug traffickers within the country.

Michael Adeyemi Adedji, a Nigerian national, and Selina Ndinda Ndonyo, a Kenyan, were apprehended by Anti Narcotics detectives in Umoja Innercore, Nairobi, following leads from intelligence sources.

A subsequent search of their residence uncovered four African-made handbags, each equipped with false compartments containing packages of a white powdery substance suspected to be cocaine.

Additionally, a separate red bag was found to contain three more packages of a similar substance.

The seized substances, upon weighing, were estimated to be approximately 2,100 grams in total.

As the investigation progresses, the suspects remain in custody, awaiting their impending arraignment.

This operation underscores the continued efforts of Kenyan law enforcement agencies to combat drug trafficking within its borders.

The apprehension of these suspects and the substantial seizure of suspected narcotics serve as a testament to the vigilance and dedication of the Anti Narcotics unit in their relentless pursuit of those involved in illegal drug trade activities.

The individuals arrested will now face legal proceedings, and their alleged involvement in drug trafficking will be subjected to thorough examination as the authorities work diligently to ensure that justice is served.
