Nairobi police officers have made a significant breakthrough in their ongoing fight against criminal activities, as they apprehended suspects involved in repackaging fertilizer intended for the government’s subsidy program. The arrests were made following a tip-off received by regional Police Commander Adamson Bungei, who swiftly coordinated the operation.
In a daring raid on a godown located along Nanyuki road, authorities stumbled upon a shocking discovery: not only were the culprits tampering with the subsidized fertilizer, but they were also involved in repackaging relief food under false pretenses for Indian brands.
The scale of the operation became apparent as the police seized a staggering 1360 bags of rice and 200 bags of maize that were being illicitly repackaged.
Alongside the seized relief food, law enforcement officials managed to confiscate a massive haul of 50,000 bags of the highly sought-after subsidy fertilizer. This substantial interception dealt a significant blow to the illegal network responsible for diverting vital resources meant for the country’s farmers.
During a subsequent media briefing, Regional Commander Adamson Bungei issued a stern warning to all individuals involved in such criminal endeavors.
He declared that the case would be thoroughly investigated by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in collaboration with local police, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice. The comprehensive investigation aims to unveil the entire syndicate operating behind these illicit activities.
As the investigations continue, the four suspects apprehended during the raid await their day in court. Once the investigative process is concluded, they will be arraigned to face charges related to the illegal repackaging and diversion of subsidized fertilizer and relief food.
