Police arrest suspect, recover 44 sachets of bhang in Isiolo

Police in Isiolo have arrested a suspect and recovered 44 sachets of bhang during an operation targeting the illegal drug trade in Isiolo Township and Bula Pesa.

The operation was conducted on Monday, September 7, 2026, as police intensified efforts to curb the sale and distribution of illicit drugs in the area.

Police recovered the bhang packed in a transparent polythene bag, while a separate package containing bhang seeds was found in a red polythene bag.

“The National Police Service remains fully vigilant, and nationwide crackdowns will continue in order to eliminate the scourge of illicit substances from our communities.”
