Wachunguzi wa Anti-Narcotics Unit walikamata raia wa Nigeria na mshirika Mkenya katika operesheni ya dawa za kulevya huko Ruaka, Kaunti ya Kiambu, Machi 15. Operesheni ilifuata taarifa za ujasusi kuhusu mabadilishano ya dawa huko Syokimau, Machakos, yaliyokatishwa ghafla.
Wachunguzi kutoka Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) na Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU) walifanya operesheni hiyo kulingana na taarifa za kuaminika. Kulingana na Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), maafisa walielekea Syokimau, Kaunti ya Machakos, kwa ajili ya mabadilishano ya dawa yanayoshukiwa. Hata hivyo, mkutano ulikatishwa, na taarifa za wakati halisi ziliwaelekeza Mbuti Apartment huko Ruaka, Kaunti ya Kiambu. > “Acting on credible intelligence that suspects were planning a narcotics exchange in Syokimau, Machakos County, the team responded swiftly. However, upon arrival, it was established that the planned meeting had been aborted. Based on real-time information from covert sources, the operation was redirected to Ruaka, Kiambu County,” DCI iliripoti. Katika ukaguzi, walipata pellets na vifurushi vya vitu vinavyoshukiwa kuwa dawa za kulevya, mizani ya kidijitali, simu nyingi za mkononi, pasipoti za kigeni na pesa zisizojulikana idadi katika sarafu za Kenya na Nigeria. Washukiwa walisafirishwa hadi vituo vya polisi vya Ruaraka na Pangani kwa uchunguzi. Wanatarajiwa kuwasilishwa mahakamani Machi 16. > “The suspects are expected to be arraigned in court today as investigations continue to trace additional suspects and dismantle the wider trafficking network,” DCI iliongeza. Vitishio vilipokolewa vimehifadhiwa na vitapimwa kisayansi. Uchunguzi zaidi unaendelea.
