The National Anti-Narcotics Investigations Bureau (NANIB) recovered narcotics valued at more than Sh779 million and arrested 1,631 suspects between January and October 2026, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has announced.
In a statement to the media on Monday, November 9, DCI Director Mohamed Amin said the recoveries were part of the Government’s intensified campaign against narcotics trafficking and illicit alcohol, which has been declared a national security priority.
Amin said the Government had strengthened the country’s anti-narcotics enforcement capacity by transforming the former Anti-Narcotics Unit into NANIB.
