Two men, a Tanzanian and Kenyan were
Monday evening arrested and heroin valued at Sh2 million found on them outside
Nakumatt Junction, Nairobi.
Police say they recovered almost a
kilo of the drug that the men had wrapped inside a black polythene paper.
According to head of Special Crimes
Prevention Unit Noah Katumo, the men identified as Kenyan Noel Magwana Mzee and
Saidi Ally Juma, a Tanzanian had claimed to be businessmen.
“When we searched their car, we
discovered 696 grammes of heroin they had hidden in their car. They are
peddlers of the drug,” said Katumo.
He added the men had parked their
car at the mall and were waiting for a client to pick the package when police
struck.
They were expected in court Tuesday
morning to face charges of drug trafficking.
