Detectives in Mombasa have apprehended a driver found in possession of bhang along the Mombasa-Nairobi highway as part of an ongoing crackdown on narcotics in the region.

The suspect, identified as Dominik Oseko Ngisa, was arrested following intelligence reports provided to officers from the Anti-Narcotics Unit in Mombasa.

He was intercepted at Jomvu, where a search of his Toyota Axio, registration number KCK 544J, uncovered rolls of cannabis concealed in the vehicle’s boot.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) noted, “Acting on intelligence, our officers arrested Dominik Oseko Ngisa at Jomvu along the Mombasa-Nairobi Road. A detailed search of the car revealed several rolls of bhang expertly hidden in the boot, underscoring the creativity employed by drug traffickers.”

In a related operation, officers from Kiembeni Police Station raided a house near Kiembeni Primary School, where they recovered six sacks of bhang.

While the search for the Kiembeni suspect continues, the Jomvu driver remains in custody along with the seized drugs, pending arraignment.
