About 10 people are being held by police in Homa Bay and Kisii counties over links to illicit trade in drugs.
Their arrest comes as the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) tightened its grip on illicit substances with successful operations in Homabay and Kisii Counties.
According to the authority, two people were arrested in Oyugis, Homabay County after a high-impact intelligence-led operation conducted jointly by NACADA, the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU), and the Administration Police Service.
The two are said to have been found in possession of suspected narcotics and contraband goods. "Recovered during the raid were 400 packets of uncustomed Supermatch cigarettes, 14 packets of Oris cigarettes, and cash in various denominations all suspected to be proceeds from the illicit trade," read a statement to newsrooms.
