Police in Mombasa County have arrested two suspected traffickers who were busted in possession of approximatetly 250 kilograms of cannabis sativa (bhang).

The officers, augmented by detectives from the Anti-Narcotics Unit in Mombasa, acted on credible tips to arrest 43-year-old Tito Paul Mulu in Port Reitz area of Changamwe Constituency.

After his arrest, authorities say Mulu cooperated and led officers directly to his accomplice, 23-year-old Oliver Ochieng, in Mudengereni area of Kisauni Constituency.

“Upon interrogation, Ochieng led detectives to his rented house,” police say, adding that, “it was there that detectives uncovered two sacks, brimming with cannabis sativa. Now, with the suspects behind bars, awaiting their day in court, the seized cannabis stands locked up as crucial exhibits.”
