A Major Blow to Drug Trafficking: TOCU Officers and Multi-Agency Team Seize Bhang in Isiolo
In a swift and decisive operation on the outskirts of Isiolo town, Transnational Organized Crimes Unit (TOCU) officers, along with a multi-agency team, have apprehended two suspected drug traffickers, Nura Abdi Diba, 25, and Abdillahi Golicha Meja, 27, while in possession of a staggering 57 stones of bhang, a prohibited herb.
The meticulously executed operation began with the interception of a suspicious Toyota Land Cruiser Reg No. KDG 034G within Isiolo town. Further investigation led the team to the residence of Nura Abdi Diba at Kambi Garba Estate, where they discovered a cache of bhang hidden within six gunny bags.
The apprehended suspects and the recovered bhang have been promptly transported to DCI headquarters for in-depth processing and interrogation. Additionally, detectives have uncovered that Abdillahi Golicha Meja holds the position of Member of County Assembly (MCA) for Chari Ward in Isiolo County.
This audacious move by the TOCU officers and the multi-agency team serves as a resounding testament to their unwavering commitment to dismantling the intricate web of drug trafficking operations within Kenya. The seizure of this substantial quantity of bhang sends a clear and unequivocal message to those involved in this illicit trade: their activities will not be tolerated and will be met with unwavering enforcement.
The pursuit of justice continues as the suspects face the weight of the law for their involvement in this illicit enterprise. Their apprehension marks a significant step forward in the ongoing battle against drug trafficking, safeguarding the well-being of communities across Kenya.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the TOCU officers and the multi-agency team for their exemplary dedication and professionalism in this operation. Their unwavering commitment to eradicating drug trafficking is making a tangible difference in the lives of Kenyan citizens.
As we collectively strive to create a safer Kenya for all, I urge the public to maintain vigilance and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. Together, we can dismantle the networks of drug trafficking and foster a safer, more prosperous nation
