Kenyan military personnel got caught up in allegations that they swiped part of a massive meth haul worth billions of shillings after intercepting it at sea. Investigators arrested a woman in Mombasa who was allegedly dealing crystal meth, and it turns out she's married to an active KDF soldier and connected to a sitting MP through marriage. The drugs found at her place matched the packaging from that huge 1,024-kilogram seizure that happened offshore back in October, and cops also grabbed 700,000 shillings in cash from her residence.
Military Police yanked the case and started grilling multiple soldiers who were part of the original bust. KDF put out a rare public statement admitting some of their people are being investigated for possibly stealing drugs during the handoff, but they insist the full shipment is still intact under heavy guard.
The October operation nabbed six Iranian nationals on a stateless dhow that cartels use to move narcotics between the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa. Detectives are working to trace where the 98 percent pure meth came from after smugglers hid it in bags labeled as premium Arabica coffee.
