A 37-year-old man is in police custody after law enforcement officers in Busia recovered narcotic drugs during a targeted operation in the town’s Central Business District (CBD).
Acting on a tip-off, officers swiftly moved in and intercepted the suspect at Busia’s main bus stage.
A search of his backpack led to the recovery of three packages wrapped in yellow cello tape containing cannabis sativa.
Officers also recovered 26 sachets containing an unidentified powdery substance, which has been forwarded for forensic analysis to determine its composition.
The suspect, Ouma Dibogo Obobo, a resident of Migori County, was escorted to Busia Police Station together with the recovered exhibits as investigations continue.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) remains steadfast in its fight against drug trafficking, working relentlessly to dismantle narcotics networks, intercept contraband at all points of entry, and ensure that those who profit from the illicit drug trade face the full force of the law.
