A 28-year-old woman, Jane Njeri Muigai, was arrested in Moyale on Friday after authorities discovered 294 grams of cocaine, valued at approximately Sh1 million, hidden in her private parts.
The arrest was made during a multi-agency operation targeting drug trafficking networks operating between the Northern Frontier District and Nairobi.
The suspect was apprehended following the interception of a Nairobi-bound bus at a roadblock manned by a specialized anti-narcotics team.
Muigai’s suspicious behavior raised red flags, prompting female officers to conduct a thorough search, which confirmed the presence of the concealed drugs.
The operation is part of a broader crackdown on drug trafficking in the region, with law enforcement intensifying efforts to dismantle smuggling networks.
Muigai has been booked at Moyale Police Station, where anti-narcotics officers are preparing to initiate legal proceedings.
