Men using MPs car to ferry drugs released on bail

Three men who were arrested on Wednesday ferrying drugs using a car allegedly belonging to Lamu West Member of Parliament (MP) Julius Ndegwa have been released on a 1.5 million shilling cash bail each.

Martin Njuguna, Gathunga Mbugua and Geoffrey Kanyingi, who were nabbed in Witu, Lamu County had been found with 390 rolls of bhang and 24 sachets of heroin.

Lamu chief Resident Magistrate David Ireri said that he saw no need for police to continue holding the suspects at Mpeketoni police station until investigations are concluded.

He also stated that the MP’s vehicle found with drugs is yet to be presented in court and will be released as soon as police conclude their probe.

The case will be heard on Monday, August 17th, 2015.
