Isiolo MCA among two arrested for bhang possession

Chari Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) Abdillahi Golicha Meja, who is 27 years old, and his 25-year-old accomplice Nura Abdi Diba have been arrested over possession of 57 stones of bhang.

The two were arrested by police from the Transnational Organized Crimes Unit and a multi-agency team on the outskirts of Isiolo town in an operation.

According to the police, the two were flagged down within Isiolo town while driving a motor vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser, before the team proceeded to the house of Nura Abdi Diba at Kambi Garba Estate on the outskirts of Isiolo town, where six gunny bags containing the 57 stones of the prohibited herb were recovered.

Most of the bhang seized in the region originates in Ethiopia. Moyale town, the largest of the trading centers, stands out as the capital of contraband, which includes the smuggling of Kenya’s popular variety of bhang.

Apart from Moyale, other border points used by the crooks to smuggle in Ethiopian bhang include Sololo, Uran, Forolle, and Dukana.

Authorities state that traffickers utilize intermediaries to transport marijuana into Kenya in limited quantities through unofficial or unmonitored passages, often under the cover of night, with Moyale town contributing to over 75% of these smuggling activities.

They do so by using light vehicles, bodaboda, donkey carts, and couriers, after which the bhang is transported to Nairobi.

The exhibits have since been taken to DCI headquarters for further processing as a probe into the matter gets underway.
