Drama Along Kenya-Uganda Border After DCI Launch Raid on Passenger Bus

The latest incident is part of a wider crackdown on drug trafficking across the country, with detectives stepping up surveillance, investigations and arrests to dismantle drug networks.

Drama unfolded at the Kenya-Uganda border after detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) uncovered cocaine worth Ksh2 million in a bus travelling from Kampala to Nairobi, leading to the arrest of one suspect.

According to the DCI, the incident occurred at the Malaba One-Stop Border Post, where officers conducting routine passenger and luggage screening discovered an unattended parcel inside the bus.

The discovery prompted officers to conduct further checks on the parcel, which was subsequently handed over to detectives from the National Anti-Narcotics Investigations Bureau (NANIB) for examination.

However, the situation took a dramatic turn when the bus driver and conductor reportedly fled the scene, abandoning the vehicle and its passengers as officers moved to investigate the package.
