Anti-drug abuse campaigner hides 5kg heroin inside pawpaw

Kenyan police on Friday arrested a notorious drug trafficker Joseph Njau Ngendo in possession of 5kg of heroin in Nairobi.


Njau, who also doubles up as an anti-drug abuse campaigner, was arrested after falling into a police dragnet shortly after returning from a trip to Kampala, Uganda.


He is suspected of having gone to Kampala to procure the drugs which he had concealed inside pawpaw.


Police, who say Njau is part of a larger heroin distribution network in Nairobi, believe he procured the narcotics from a Nigerian based in Kampala.
