Monday, June 22, 2026 - A 37-year-old man is in police custody after detectives recovered suspected narcotic drugs hidden in his backpack during an intelligence-led operation in Busia Town.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations
(DCI), officers acted on a tip-off and swiftly moved to Busia's Central
