Kenya's military is pushing back hard against accusations that its officers pocketed some meth from a major bust. The Kenya Defence Forces seized over a thousand kilograms of crystal meth worth around 8.2 billion shillings during a joint operation off the Kenyan coast, and they arrested six Iranian nationals who were allegedly transporting the drugs.
Reports started circulating that some KDF personnel might have skimmed part of the haul for themselves during the transfer to shore. The military isn't having it, though, saying every single kilogram is still accounted for and under 24/7 protection by a multi-agency team.
Investigations are rolling right now, and the KDF says anyone caught dirty will face serious consequences. The whole operation came together after regional and international intelligence agencies tracked the suspicious vessel across the western Indian Ocean.
