Detectives in Nyahururu have intercepted 22,000 liters of suspected ethanol being transported from the Malaba border towards Nairobi. The operation led to the arrest of two suspects who were allegedly ferrying the illegal cargo.

Acting on reliable intelligence, the head of criminal investigations for Nyahururu sub-county mobilized a team of detectives to stop a KCR 473G FAW truck. This vehicle was found carrying 88 drums, each with a capacity of 250 liters, cleverly concealed with construction blocks.

“Upon interception and subsequent seizure, detectives uncovered that the truck belonging to Transmic Company had been hired to ferry beans from Malaba border to Nairobi through the Nakuru-Gilgil-Naivasha route, only to be diverted to the Nakuru-Nyahururu-Nyeri highway,” said the DCI in a post on X.

When flagged down by the authorities, the driver, Victor Mutinda Kitavi, and his accomplice, Dickson Wandera, attempted to flee but were swiftly apprehended. The DCI confirmed their arrest and stated that the suspects are now in custody.

Following the seizure, a multi-agency team, including members of the sub-county security team and officials from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) South Rift, documented the evidence. Both the suspects and the confiscated ethanol have been handed over to the KRA team and escorted to the Nakuru KRA bonded warehouse for further legal proceedings.
