KILIMANJARO, Tanzania
Tanzania’s
anti-narcotics police said on Saturday they seized 379 kilograms of cannabis.
Emmanuel Lukula, the Kilimanjaro
regional police commander, said the cannabis was seized at Holili town at the
border between Tanzania and Kenya.
He said police were also
holding for interrogation the driver of a pick-up vehicle that was used to
ferry the cannabis.
“Police seized the
cannabis in the ongoing anti-narcotics operation across the country,” Lukula
told a news conference in Moshi municipality of Kilimanjaro region located on
the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.
On July 6, Tanzanian President John Magufuli ordered to transfer and demote at least three police officers for protecting a syndicate growing cannabis in the country’s northern district of Meru.
