Two arrested as NACADA seizes bhang worth Ksh.2M in Naivasha

The haul was recovered during an intelligence-led operation in which a multi-agency security team raided a suspected drug den. Authorities confirmed the arrest of the prime suspect and an accomplice.

According to NACADA, the operation uncovered cannabis sativa “meticulously packaged for distribution” in forms including stones, tariffs, sacks, and rolls—an indication of a well-organised supply chain.

The two suspects are in custody, with the case transferred to the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) Headquarters for further investigations and possible prosecution.

The crackdown comes amid heightened concern over drug distribution targeting young people during the ongoing school holidays. NACADA CEO Dr. Anthony Omerikwa warned traffickers against exploiting the period.
