Police officers have nabbed about 26 sacks stuffed with bhang worth Ksh6 million in a raid conducted at a church in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado County.According to a lead detective who spoke with the media on Tuesday, the police conducted the operation after being tipped off by concerned members of the public.
Several suspects were arrested at the church, with police tracing the bhang hidden in different parts of the premises. The number of suspects arrested was yet to be disclosed by the time of publishing this article.
Police further suspected that the congregants were drug addicts disguised as the flock.
Moreover, the church was accused of selling stolen equipment, such as furniture and electronics. Suspects who were arrested at the premise were alleged to have been caught slaughtering a goat to celebrate a well-coordinated night operation where they raided homes and stool property.
Police documented the bhang as an exhibit that will be presented in court during the arraignment of the suspects. Detectives will also ask the court to deny the suspects bail and be guided on how to destroy the illegal drugs.
