Two Arrested as ANU Seizes Sh2.19 Million Cache

Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) detectives in Mombasa County arrested two suspects and seized narcotics with an estimated street value of Sh2.19 million from a rented house at Kwa Hola Village in Mombasa County.

The joint operation by ANU and Mombasa County officers acted on intelligence before raiding the property. Detectives arrested Mwanaisha Abdalla Gona, 42, and Nancy Njeri, 37, at the scene.

Inside the house, detectives found 902 rolls of cannabis sativa (bhang) wrapped in khaki paper and ready for distribution, weighing approximately 300 kilograms. They also seized three kilograms of skunk, a high-potency cannabis variant, packed in sachets.

In addition, officers recovered 300 grams of heroin at the same location. The combined street value of all narcotics seized stands at Sh2.19 million.

Furthermore, detectives recovered a digital weighing scale and clear polythene packaging materials, which investigators say point to an active distribution operation rather than personal use.

Both suspects are now at Chaani Police Station awaiting arraignment. The recovered narcotics are secured as exhibits for use in prosecution.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the operation forms part of its ongoing efforts to dismantle drug trafficking networks across Kenya.

According to the DCI, intelligence-led operations remain central to the ANU’s approach in Mombasa County, where the port and coastal geography make the area a known transit and distribution point for narcotics.
