A suspected 24-year-old drug trafficker was on Friday 26th April arrested after he was found in possession of 417 grams of cocaine, worth an estimated Ksh.1.8 million, hidden under the inner sole of his shoes.
Charles Obaga Kavehere was arrested by the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) detectives after the bus he was travelling was intercepted en route to Nairobi from Moyale, in Thika.
After a quick search of the suspect, the police were able to discover the controlled substance.
He was taken to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) for further screening where detectives established that, besides the 417 grams estimated at Sh1.8 million, he had swallowed more drugs than he intended to ingest at the destination.
