Two G4S employees were arrested by police officers in Busia County after they were found transporting bhang worth Ksh.1 million.
The two G4S staff were apprehended along the Busia-Nambale road while on their way to Nairobi.
While confirming the incident, Nambale sub-county police commander George Ongosi noted that, the vehicle was stopped by police officers from Nambale police station after a tip off that the G4S vehicle was transporting bhang.
The Nambale police boss told the press that the illegal drug had been rolled and sealed in two cartons in a manner that could make it hard for an ordinary person to suspect the boxes contained bhang.
“We received a tip off at around 11:30pm on Friday night that there was a motor vehicle registration number KCX 060Y that was enroute to Nairobi,” Ongosi stated.
