Police in Nairobi have arrested a Kenyan notorious drug trafficker after he was caught with five kilograms of heroin.

Mr.Joseph Njau Ngendo who is an anti-drug abuse
campaigner in the country was arrested on Friday in Westlands, Nairobi
after returning from a trip to Kampala, Uganda.

Njau, who authorities say is part of a larger heroin distribution
network in Nairobi is said to have procured the narcotics from a
Nigerian based in Kampala which he had concealed inside pawpaws.

“Joseph Njau Ngendo was arrested within Westlands area on his return
from Kampala, Uganda… he had left Nairobi on Wednesday night travelling
by MASH bus,” reads a police report.

“Police records indicate that Njau is a frequent traveler to Uganda.
He has a pattern of leaving Kenya through Busia border and comes back to
Kenya through Malaba border. He does this to evade detection,” the
reports expounds.

“In early February 2019, Njau made two other trips to Uganda where he
is suspected to have hammered a deal with his Nigerian drug
associates.”

Njau, the authorities say, masks his drug dealing activities in legitimate business and charity work.

“When not dealing drugs Njau Ngendo works part time as an anti-drug
abuse campaigner. He regularly visit schools and social gatherings to
give talks against drug abuse.”

The suspect will be arraigned at the JKIA law courts on Monday,
February 25 where he is expected to be charged with possession and
trafficking in narcotic drugs.
