Ugandan Woman Arrested With Heroin On Nairobis’s Jogoo Roead

A 27-year-old Ugandan woman was on Tuesday evening nabbed by detectives for alleged heroin trafficking in Nairobi.

According to a statement by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI),

the suspect; Bizu Rubi Halima, was apprehended at a hotel room in Hamza, Jogoo Road

where 30 pellets of the hard drug were recovered.

The DCI further pointed out that the woman was believed to have been waiting for her Kenyan contact to deliver the drugs.

The drugs had reportedly been concealed as poato crisps.

“The pellets were carefully concealed as potato crisps.

Transnational and organized crimes detectives pounced on her after receiving information

on her suspicious activities, through our hotline, 0800 722 203,” read the statement.

The woman is in custody awaiting arraignment.

Detectives have since launched a manhunt for her accomplices.
