Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have seized 78.98 kilograms of cannabis in Kajiado County during a targeted operation. The illegal farm was discovered through intelligence efforts, leading to the recovery of the drug with an estimated street value of Ksh2.37 million. The operation was carried out by officers from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) in collaboration with DCI detectives.
The cannabis, believed to be from the *Cannabis sativa* species, was found on an undisclosed location in Kajiado. Authorities have not yet released details on the number of suspects involved or the next steps in the case. The seizure highlights ongoing efforts by Kenyan law enforcement to combat illegal drug production.
This raid underscores the DCI’s commitment to cracking down on narcotics trafficking. The recovered cannabis will likely be subjected to further forensic analysis. No arrests have been announced at this time, but officials have indicated that the operation was part of a broader crackdown on illicit drug cultivation.
The case is currently under investigation, with authorities expected to provide more information in the coming days. (peopledaily.digital)
