Anti- Narcotics Unit detectives based at JKIA have arrested Quinter Achieng Matengo and recovered 2000 grams of Cannabis Sativa.

While working with KAA staff who screened her luggage revealing the presence of suspicious items therein, the detectives intercepted the 27 year old suspected drug trafficker who was to travel to Doha- Qatar.

Upon interrogation, she was escorted to ANU offices where a search of her luggage revealed that she had concealed the drugs inside maize flour packets- not knowing that hawk eyed detectives would nip her plans at the bud.

Upon weighing the drugs, the same were kept in safe custody whereas the suspect was processed pending arraignment.

The DCI’s resolve in the fight against sale, distribution, trafficking and consumption of illicit drugs remains high throughout the festive season and thereafter.
