Foreign National Arrested in Iten Over Illicit Pharmaceutical Products

 



Anti-narcotics detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters have arrested an Indian national in Iten in connection with the illegal possession and distribution of pharmaceutical products.

The suspect, identified as Malik Aman, was apprehended during a raid on his residence after a search warrant was granted by an Iten court. The operation, conducted by a specialized anti-narcotics team, resulted in the recovery of assorted pharmaceutical substances, which were inventoried and seized as evidence.

According to authorities, Aman had been under surveillance for some time before detectives moved in. The recovered drugs are now undergoing forensic analysis at the Government Chemist to determine their composition and legality.

Aman was released on cash bail pending further investigations. Police say the results of the forensic tests will guide the next course of legal action.

DCI officials reiterated their commitment to combating the sale, distribution, and consumption of illicit drugs and other banned substances across the country. The arrest is part of a broader crackdown aimed at dismantling illegal drug networks operating within and beyond Kenyan borders.
