A 29-year-old man has been arrested by police in Kuria West, Migori County for being in possession of 19 kilograms of bhang.
Kuria West police commander Cleti Kimaiyo reported that the suspect was arrested in Masangora village.
Nonetheless, police officers who acted on a tip off waylaid the 29-year-old suspect and seized the bhang which was packed in two sacks.
“The suspect has been identified as Alex Chacha. He was arrested while ferrying bhang on a motorcycle along Nyamutiro-Masangora road,” Kimaiyo stated.
