A significant drug bust in Homa Bay County has uncovered a drug cartel targeting university students after authorities seized bhang worth Sh5 million from student hostels. This operation, led by NACADA, is part of a wider crackdown on drug abuse in educational institutions across Kenya.

• Bhang valued at Sh5 million and cigarettes worth Sh100,000 were recovered.
• Two suspects were arrested during the multi-agency raid at Jaacf Kodongo Estate.
• NACADA CEO Anthony Omerikwa highlighted that over 30% of university students admit to cannabis use, with access to narcotics near campuses significantly increasing in the past three years.
