A 42-year old nurse at Mbaghati hospital is in trouble for allegedly being involved with the drug trafficking business.
Beatrice Awuor Odhiambo was nabbed by detectives while preparing to ingest 60 pellets of what is believed to heroin that was meant to be transported to a destination that is yet to be confirmed.
“Transnational organized crime detectives acting on information received via our #FichuakwaDCI hotline, stormed her house in Nasra area within Kayole and pounced on the 42-year-old trafficker,” a statement by the DCI reads.
The detectives searched the house and were able to recover her passport, together with two others bearing the names Caroline Adongo Mujibi and Risper Auma Ochieng, who are believed to be her accomplices.
“Also recovered was a job identification card bearing the names of the mastermind Beatrice Awuor Odhiambo, which identified her as a nurse at Mbagathi hospital,” DCI said.
Detectives as well recovered a digital weighing scale that is believed to be used in weighing the illegal drug.
“A digital weighing scale believed to be used in weighing the illegal product made from the seed pod of opium poppy plants, was also recovered,” the statement reads.
The pellets have since been handed over to the to anti-narcotics experts based at DCI headquarters for forensic analysis.
