Police officers domiciled at Migori Police Station have swooped in like hawks, arresting two traffickers who thought they could outsmart the law.
Luke Okello, 35, and Steve Odero, 28, found themselves in hot water as they were caught red-handed trafficking narcotics in Migori and its surroundings.
Acting on a tip-off, the officers launched a well-coordinated raid in Namba area of Suna West Sub-County.
There, they intercepted the duo, who were boldly ferrying a stash of cannabis sativa on a motorcycle registration number KMEZ 125V, Boxer Bajaj, along the busy Migori Road.
In a desperate attempt to evade the long arm of the law, the suspects transformed into makeshift human drug mules, strapping rolls of bhang to their bodies, concealed beneath oversized jackets.
But no amount of creative hiding could save them. Odero was caught with 37 rolls, while Okello had 77 rolls strapped to his frame.
The duo was promptly arrested on the spot and taken to Migori Police Station, where they are now undergoing processing, ahead of their day in court. Meanwhile, the impounded motorcycle and the recovered narcotics have been seized as exhibits.
