Four arrested over fuel adulteration in Nairobi

Four suspects were arrested on Thursday in Kariobangi, Nairobi on suspicion of being part of a fuel adulteration syndicate.

Fifty-five drums of paraffin, petrol and diesel were nabbed during the raid by Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) detectives acting on a tip-off.

Also impounded at the yard, popularly known as ‘Macharia’s yard’ was a generator, a fuel tank and two fuel tankers.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the fuel is supplied through the local depots.
