In Summary
- Four suspects have been deported
Five foreigners linked to an international drug
trafficking ring were last Friday arrested in Kileleshwa and Kahawa West
estates by the Antinarcotics detectives.
However, four suspects were deported but
Immigration minister Otieno Kajwang rescinded the deportation order of
one suspect, Peter Sessay, a Sierra Leone national said to have turned
violent at the airport.
According to police, another suspect identified as
Paul Maison is still at large and has appealed to court to block his
deportation. He acquired a work permit after posing as an investor.
Nairobi CID boss Nicholas Kamwende said that the
gang was planning to bring in several kilos of cocaine from Venezuela
through Rwanda, and termed the arrests a big success in the fight
against drug trafficking.
However, police are yet to establish how the group
entered the country. They are said to be travelling on forged documents
and diplomatic letters so that their luggage can be exempted from
inspection.
