Seven people got hauled into court in Mombasa for holding onto 24 kilos of meth worth around 192 million shillings, and cops think the stash came from a way bigger bust they pulled off earlier. The suspects are Duke Nyamwaya, Juma Mwinyifaki, Michael Kariuki, Elijah Mbogo, James Ekiru, Abdulrehman Salad, and Abdirahman Abdi Kuno, and they all got pinched when the Anti-Narcotics Unit raided their houses and grabbed the drugs plus 11 phones.
Authorities believe the narcotics were lifted from a massive 1,024-kilogram haul that got seized from a boat in the Indian Ocean back in October, which was valued at something like 8.2 billion shillings. The magistrate gave investigators 10 days to run forensic tests on everything, and prosecutors are saying the whole case is a big deal for public interest.
Police want to analyze all the phones because they reckon the digital evidence will expose a larger trafficking ring operating across the region.
