A woman who attempted to sneak bhang to a suspect in police custody at Gilgil police station, northwest of Nairobi, has been arrested.

Caroline Imenza was arrested on Sunday morning by hawk=eyed officers manning the station.

The daring 30-year-old woman had walked into Gilgil Police station minutes past 6 am and requested to see her husband, Stephen Nyabuto, a detainee at the facility.

Imenza had carried a loaf of bread and a flask full of hot tea to be handed over to her husband for breakfast.

“But the female officer who was on guard at the report office desk wasn’t persuaded by the woman’s demeanor.

She uncovered the loaf of bread and found a steep gorge that is characteristic of today’s loaves of bread, but towards the end she uncovered 5 rolls of bhang, five cigarettes and a matchbox,” said the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

Immediately, the officer detained Imenza and led her to a secluded room meant for gender-related cases, where she conducted a detailed body search on the suspect.

Her efforts were rewarded when she uncovered 80 rolls of the herb, carefully concealed in the suspect’s undergarments!

Efforts by the suspect to bribe the officers with Ksh2,000 ($20) to secure her freedom were not only met with resistance but an additional charge.
