Police officers have seized 220 kilograms of bhang worth Kes 6 million in the Kambi Samaki area in the Garbatulla sub-county in Isiolo.

Confirming the incident, Isiolo County Police Commander Moses Mutisya said the drugs were on their way to the neighboring county of Garissa.

Mutisya reported that two people were transporting drugs in a Nissan Xtrail vehicle but fled after abandoning it, leaving the bhang behind.

Authorities have identified the vehicle's owner, a Meru resident.

Meanwhile, in Isiolo Town, police apprehended Priscilla Mwari, a suspected trafficker, carrying 40 rolls of bhang.

Mwari has since been formally charged.
