Drama as MP storms police station to repossess bhang

There was drama at Kerugoya Police Station Saturday evening after the area MP and residents stormed the station to repossess bhang confiscated last week.

The Kerugoya Central MP Gachoki Gitari demanded that the bhang, which was reportedly nabbed during a crackdown on illicit brew last week, be returned to its owner at Kiriathi village.

The bhang is said to have been in a saloon car, which was towed to the police station.

It took the intervention of Kirinyaga Deputy Commander Charles Ontita to calm the situation, which was getting out of hand as the MP dared the police to shoot him saying he will not stop demanding for answers.

Gitari claimed that the bhang, which had allegedly ‘disappeared’, was sold by the officers, allegations that Ontita denied arguing that the vehicle was empty.

Ontita said investigations would be launched to unravel the truth of the matter, adding that any officer found guilty will be prosecuted.
