The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Thursday, August 17 announced that it would set its sights on Kasarani after its detectives recovered Ksh2.3 million during a raid in Buru Buru, Nairobi.
During the raid, the detectives also recovered narcotic drugs suspected to be cocaine, in the ongoing crackdown against drug trafficking in the city.
In an operation conducted in Buru Buru early morning, sleuths from the Anti-Narcotics Unit raided a house at Harambee estate and recovered 18 pellets of the highly addictive drug.

"Also seized during the 6 am raid were wads of cash in Kenya shillings and foreign currency, believed to be proceeds from drug trafficking. The cash included $12,601 USD, €15 Euros, Sh509, 495, Tsh24,000 and 10,000 Angolan Kwanza," stated the DCI.
Two suspects Curtis Muli and Teresa Achieng were also arrested during the raid.
The search was extended to an adjacent house believed to be a stash house within the same area where 3 test tubes, a digital weighing machine and an ID card belonging to Curtis Muli Mutuku were recovered.
The approximate weight of the suspected drugs recovered was revealed to be 0.244 grams.
Meanwhile, the two suspects were held at Muthaiga police station for further investigation and preparation for arraignment.
"Today’s raid follows yet another successful operation by the detectives on Tuesday, that led to the arrest of Ngara’s Mathe, believed to be one of the biggest suppliers of the product in the city.
"During the raid, Ksh13.4 Million was recovered in cash and a consignment of 26 gunny bags full of cannabis was seized by our officers," added the DCI.
Following the raid, the DCI further announced that they were planning to raid 'Aunty wa Kasarani' a suspected drug dealer living in Kasarani, Nairobi.
Their efforts nonetheless received a commendation from the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) for their fight against drug abuse and trafficking.
"NACADA would like to commend the officers drawn from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) and the Transnational Organised Crime Unit involved in this operation.
"In addition, this is a demonstration of the effectiveness of prompt coordination, synergy and execution of operations among government agencies in line with the one-government approach," stated NACADA Acting CEO John Muteti in a statement seen by Viral Tea.
NACADA went on to reiterate that the fight against alcohol and drug abuse is multi-pronged and calls upon all stakeholders including members of the public to play their role in supporting it through volunteering relevant information to authorities for prompt and decisive action.
