The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives on Tuesday raided a home in Migori County’s Buembu village and seized 531 kgs of bhang.
In a statement, the DCI said they arrested a 26-year-old woman in the operation comprised of DCI detectives and police officers from the K9 Isebania Border post.
“A woman implicated in the trafficking of 531 kg of Bhang which was earlier today seized at a home compound within Buembu village in Migori is in police custody. Molinter Adhiambo Juma, 26 was nabbed at the said homestead in an operation conducted by a joint team of DCI detectives backed up by their K9 Isebania Border Post counterparts,” DCI stated.
The detectives used sniffer dogs to help trace where the bhang was hidden.
Meanwhile, an unidentified male suspect fled the scene, which has since been established as the home of one Osege Odhiambo. The police intensified their search for him.
“In the stealth operation, 9 sacks of Cannabis sativa sticks and another 8 containing the unrefined drug were found at various concealed spots by the help of a sniffer dog,” said the DCI.
“An unidentified male suspect was in time to make good his escape from the scene which is the home of Osege Odhiambo, leaving behind the woman and the prohibited hard drug worth over Sh15 million in street estimates. Search for Osege and the escapee continues.”
