Police in Gatundu yesterday seized a bhang crop worth over Sh1 million at a farm.

Officers who were acting on a tip-off raided the farm and found the outlawed crop, Gatundu North Sub-County police commander Ellen Wanjiku said.

She told journalists that the seizure was part of an ongoing crackdown on outlawed substances. During the operation, three suspects were arrested and taken to Mwea Police Station for grilling.

“This is a milestone in the fight against drugs. These have been the major suppliers of bhang in our neighbouring markets and with this achievement.

We expect reduced uptake of the illicit substance which will help our youths concentrate on nation-building,” added Wanjiku.
