Three suspected drug traffickers have been arrested after detectives from the National Anti-Narcotics Investigations Bureau (NANIB) seized 118.6 kilograms of Cannabis Sativa worth approximately Sh3.3 million in Narok County.

In a statement posted on its X account on Thursday, August 20, 2026, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the operation was conducted by NANIB detectives based at Narok Police Station following credible intelligence on the suspected trafficking of narcotics.

The detectives raided makeshift structures within the Narok main quarry area, where they recovered the drugs and arrested three suspects identified as Joel Rimin Koisikir, Hassan Mukaria Jackson and Robert Turgut Kipkoech.

According to the DCI, detectives recovered 19 packages of cannabis sativa weighing 118.6 kilograms, with an estimated street value of Sh3,358,000.

The operation also led to the recovery of assorted packing materials allegedly used in the packaging and distribution of the narcotics.

“The operation not only recovered a substantial quantity of narcotic drugs but also led to the recovery of assorted packing materials used for the illicit trade,” the DCI said.

The three suspects remain in police custody as detectives complete processing ahead of their arraignment in court.

The seized cannabis has also been secured as an exhibit as investigations into the suspected drug trafficking network continue.

The arrests come as law enforcement agencies intensify efforts to disrupt the trafficking and distribution of narcotics across the country.

The DCI urged members of the public to continue providing information on suspected criminal activities, assuring them that reports can be made anonymously.

The agency encouraged the public to use its toll-free number 0800 722 203 or WhatsApp line 0709 570 000 to share information.

“Usiogope!” the DCI said, urging members of the public not to fear when reporting suspected criminal activities.

The three suspects are expected to face charges once investigations and the necessary processing are completed.
