A 28-year-old woman was arrested in a dramatic anti-narcotics operation after she was found in possession of 294 grams of cocaine concealed in her private parts. The suspect, identified as Jane Njeri Muigai, was nabbed by a multi-agency security team manning a roadblock along the Moyale–Nairobi highway.
The operation, part of a broader crackdown on drug trafficking networks operating along the Northern Frontier corridor, saw officers intercept a Nairobi-bound passenger bus from Moyale. Authorities say the suspect exhibited suspicious behavior, prompting female officers to conduct a thorough body search that revealed the concealed narcotics.
According to security officials, the arrest was the result of intensified surveillance and intelligence-led operations targeting traffickers smuggling narcotics from border regions into Kenya’s interior.
“She was acting nervously and attempting to avoid attention, which raised red flags. Upon isolating and searching her, officers recovered 294 grams of cocaine hidden in her private parts,” said one officer familiar with the operation.
The suspect is currently being held at Moyale Police Station as anti-narcotics detectives take over the case. She is expected to face charges related to drug possession and trafficking under Kenyan law.
Authorities have lauded the arrest as a significant blow to drug smuggling syndicates that use remote border points to sneak narcotics into the country. Investigations are ongoing to determine if the suspect is part of a larger trafficking ring.
This incident adds to a growing list of high-profile arrests as the government intensifies its war on drugs across key transit points in the country.
