A traffic officer discovered a haul of Ksh1.5 million worth of bhang in a vehicle that was involved in an accident along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway on Saturday morning.

Speaking on the accident, Naivasha Sub-County police commander Samuel Waweru mentioned: “It was obvious the motorist was speeding in an attempt to dodge police manning several roadblocks mounted along the busy highway.”
The driver and a passenger in the vehicle were injured.
