Detectives in Kenya have traced a 454-kilogram methamphetamine seizure to Pakistan, according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations. The drugs, valued at Ksh3.6 billion, were intended for East Africa and South Africa. Three suspects, including two foreign nationals, were arrested during the operation.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations confirmed the link during a press briefing in Mombasa on November 9, 2026. Director Mohamed Amin stated the drugs were destined for multiple countries in the region. The operation highlights ongoing efforts to combat cross-border drug trafficking.
This follows a series of drug seizures in Kwale County, where law enforcement has intensified operations against illicit drug networks. The connection to Pakistan underscores the complexity of international drug trade routes. The case is under further investigation to determine full details of the smuggling network.
