Kenyans have been captivated by the story of Teresia Wanjiru and Mathe wa Ngara, following a recent drug bust.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Kenya announced that a woman suspected to be behind drug deals in Ngara had been arrested.
Mathe wa Ngara, the alleged popular bhang seller in Ngara, was arrested in a police operation in Nairobi yesterday.
Mathe, who is said to operate around Kariya B in Nairobi County, disappeared when Teresia Wanjiru was arrested on Tuesday, August 15.
The DCI said in a tweet that they arrested Teresia alongside three minors after the Anti-Narcotics Unit and the Transnational Organized Crime Unit raided her place in the slums of Karuia within Ngara.
Teresia spoke to NTV on Sunday, August 20, describing the events leading to her arrest. She said that she was in her small hotel, as she calls it, when the police raided her place. She said that she was not aware of any drugs being sold in her hotel and that she was innocent of the charges against her.
The police have not yet released any information about Mathe wa Ngara’s arrest. However, the arrest of Teresia Wanjiru and the alleged drug bust in Ngara have sparked a lot of speculation and discussion in Kenya. Many people are wondering who Mathe wa Ngara is and what role she played in the drug trade.
The case is still under investigation and it is not yet clear what charges will be filed against Teresia Wanjiru or Mathe wa Ngara. However, the arrest of these two women has sent a strong message that the police are committed to cracking down on drug trafficking in Kenya.
