Four Nabbed in Wajir Bust

Four suspected drug traffickers were arrested in Wajir County on Friday, with police recovering a 10-kilogram consignment of marijuana in the vehicle they were travelling in.

Driver Jibril Ali Noor, 38, car owner Mohammed Abdikadir Mohammud, 30, Adan Ali Abdullahi, 21 and Idow Abdirahaman Adow, 70, were apprehended in Wajir North after police intercepted the Toyota Landcruiser, registration number KAE 514G, in which they were travelling.

“It is believed that the four were making their way back home having distributed more bales around the County,” the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said in a statement on X.

They are currently being held at Bute Police Station pending processing and arraignment on Monday, February 17.
