200 Kilograms of Bhang Seized in Kimnai Village Police Raid


 


 


A major police operation has led to the seizure of approximately 200 kilograms of suspected bhang (Cannabis sativa) in Kimnai Village, located in Chugor Sub-Location, near the Kerio River.


The raid was carried out by a multi-agency security team, targeting illegal drug activities believed to be taking place in the remote area.

👮 How the Raid Happened


Acting on intelligence, security officers stormed the riverside location and discovered a large plantation of bhang hidden among bushes near the Kerio River. The officers uprooted the plants, which were estimated to weigh about 200 kilograms when collected.


The seized drugs have been taken in for further analysis and are being held as evidence in an ongoing investigation.

🕵️‍♂️ Search for Suspects Underway


Although no one was arrested during the operation, authorities have confirmed that investigations are ongoing. A manhunt has been launched to find those behind the illegal cannabis farming.


Police are also gathering information from local residents who might help identify the culprits.

 ⚠️ Why This Is Important


This raid is part of a wider government effort to stop drug production and trafficking in Kenya. Rural areas like Kimnai are increasingly being used to grow cannabis secretly, taking advantage of limited patrols and difficult terrain.


The government hopes that such crackdowns will:


* Reduce the supply of illegal drugs

* Discourage young people from joining the trade

* Protect communities from the dangers linked to drug abuse and crime

👂 Reactions from the Community


Some residents welcomed the operation, saying it will bring peace and safety to the area. Others, however, urged security officers to protect innocent people during future raids.


One resident said, “We support the law, but we also need jobs and education to help the youth avoid such paths.”

✅ What’s Next?


Police have promised to continue monitoring the area and carry out more operations in regions suspected to be drug hotspots. They are calling on the public to cooperate by reporting any suspicious farming or activities.


The message is clear: illegal drugs have no place in our communities.
