2025 - Police officers on patrol along the Busia-Kisumu Road at Yala Bridge on Monday, October 27th,
2025, intercepted a passenger bus ferrying a consignment of bhang disguised as
luggage.
According to reports, the officers flagged down a Kampala-Nairobi
bound bus during routine patrols and conducted a thorough search.
During the inspection, they recovered two bales of a green substance suspected
to be cannabis sativa, neatly sealed with yellow
cellotape.
The contraband was traced to two passengers, who were immediately
arrested at the scene.
The suspects are currently being held in custody pending
processing and arraignment in court.
Police say the exhibits
have been secured at the station as investigations continue to
establish the source and intended destination of the drugs.
In a statement, the National Police Service (NPS) commended the officers involved in the successful operation and reiterated its commitment to intensifying the war against drug trafficking across the country.
“We remain vigilant in ensuring that our highways are not used as transit routes for illegal substances. The fight against narcotics continues,” read part of the NPS statement.
