Monday, April 27, 2026 - Law enforcement officers from Rongo Sub-County are standing guard at Migori Hospital over a trafficker who became embroiled in a serious accident while transporting bhang valued at approximately Sh34.1 million.
On April 24th, 2026, the suspect, 52-year-old
Samson Ayiera Chacha, was behind the wheel of a trailer Reg. No. KBS 548H, when
he lost control, plunging into the treacherous waters of river Kuja.
Chacha sustained severe injuries in the crash and was
rescued by good Samaritans who rushed him to the hospital for urgent medical
care.
Today, a concerted recovery operation unfolded as
authorities successfully retrieved the submerged trailer from the clutches of
the river.
It was subsequently towed to Kamagambo Police Station,
where, upon inspection, it was found to be carrying bhang.
Anti-Narcotics Officers stationed in Isebania were summoned
to take charge of the investigation, and it was established that the trailer
was ferrying 1,137.8 kilogrammes of bhang with an estimated street value of
Sh34,134,000.
With the driver currently receiving treatment at Migori County Referral Hospital, he remains under police watch and will be charged immediately upon discharge.
