This successful recovery of the narcotics haul follows the sustained strategic direction of the Inspector General of the National Police Service, Mr. Douglas Kanja, MGH, CBS, OGW, who directed the NPS to undertake decisive and lawful action within the multi-agency framework to combat narcotic drugs, illicit alcohol, and other harmful substances. The breakthrough began with actionable intelligence regarding a key suspect who was intercepted and arrested in Tanzania on 5 November 2026 while in possession of suspected narcotic drugs. Following the arrest, NPS officers promptly responded at the Lungalunga–Horohoro border point, where Tanzanian authorities formally handed the suspect over to the Kenyan authorities. Upon thorough investigation and interrogation, the suspect led the multi-agency team to Shirazi Village within the Kingwede Shirazi Location in Msambweni, where the trail led to the residential premises of a second accomplice. Relentless tracking and further interrogation steered the security team to Ganja La Simba Village, situated in the Kinondo Location of Msambweni Sub-County. A thorough search of the second location led to the discovery of packages of suspected narcotics weighing 454 kilograms, with an estimated street value of KSh 3.6 billion, and more suspects were arrested at the scene. In addition to the massive drug haul, multi-agency teams seized two motor vehicles and one motorcycle. The four suspects are currently in lawful custody, while the recovered narcotics and the seized items are secured as exhibits. The National Police Service reaffirms its unwavering commitment to working relentlessly with local, regional, and international security agencies to dismantle cross-border drug trafficking networks. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy against transnational organised crime and will ensure that Kenya is neither a destination nor a transit hub for illicit drugs. We commend the multi-agency teams for their meticulous execution of this operation and greatly appreciate the seamless cooperation of our Tanzanian counterparts. The operation remains ongoing, and further updates will be provided. Security is a collective responsibility; we urge members of the public to remain vigilant and continue collaborating with law enforcement by sharing timely, actionable information to keep our communities safe. Reports on any suspicious activity should be made at the nearest police camp, post, or station, or through the emergency toll-free numbers: 911 or 999; the #FichuaKwaDCI hotline on 0800 722 203; or via WhatsApp on 0709 570 000.
