By Milton Were Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations' Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) have arrested four suspects, including two foreign nationals, following a targeted operation that uncovered suspected narcotic drugs and drug-processing equipment in Nairobi. The operation, conducted by officers attached to the DCI Headquarters, was launched following intelligence reports linking the suspects to alleged narcotics trafficking activities within the city. According to investigators, officers raided a residence at Denluck Apartment on Wednesday evening, leading to the arrest of Gabriel Moses Mathai, 26, Gerald Otieno, 28, Danilo Pejevic, a Serbian national aged 25, and Lukundo Samuel Sikombe, a 25-year-old Tanzanian national. During the operation, detectives recovered quantities of what is believed to be cannabis sativa concealed inside containers within the house. Authorities also seized an assortment of items suspected to have been used in the preparation, packaging, and distribution of narcotic substances. Among the items recovered were weighing scales, packaging envelopes, rolling papers, scissors, lighters, crushers, and other materials commonly associated with the processing of narcotics for distribution. The arrests are being viewed as a significant breakthrough in ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies to dismantle drug trafficking networks operating within Nairobi and its surrounding areas. Investigators suspect the premises may have been used as a packaging and distribution center, although forensic analysis is expected to establish the exact nature and extent of the alleged operation. Following their arrest, the suspects were escorted to Muthaiga Police Station, where they remain in custody pending the completion of investigations and subsequent court proceedings. All exhibits recovered during the raid have been transferred to DCI Headquarters for documentation, preservation, and forensic examination. The latest arrests come as authorities intensify operations against narcotics trafficking syndicates that continue to target young people and vulnerable communities through the illegal drug trade. Security agencies have repeatedly warned that traffickers are increasingly adopting sophisticated methods to conceal and distribute narcotics, prompting a stronger intelligence-led response from anti-drug enforcement units. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has reaffirmed its commitment to combating drug trafficking and has urged members of the public to continue sharing information that may assist ongoing investigations. As detectives analyze the seized items and trace possible links to wider criminal networks, investigators have not ruled out further arrests. The suspects are expected to be arraigned in court once investigations are finalized.
