Law enforcement officers manning a security roadblock in Kanyonyoo along the
Thika-Garissa Highway have nabbed a suspected trafficker, recovering a stash of
cannabis in his possession.
The suspect, 27-year-old Stephen Oronje, was aboard a Nissan
matatu, unaware that his journey would be cut short.
As the matatu stopped at the roadblock, officers conducted a
routine inspection.
During the search, they discovered a black bag that raised
suspicion.
Inside, wrapped in yellow cellotape, were bales of cannabis
sativa.
Also recovered were eight packs of Rizla rolling papers,
each containing 100 sheets, along with a digital weighing scale.
Police believe Oronje was transporting the drugs to Kitui
town, allegedly sourcing them from Bungoma County.
He was escorted to Kanyonyoo Police Station, where he is being processed ahead of his arraignment.
