On Saturday, detectives made a significant breakthrough in the fight against drink spiking in Nairobi's nightlife scene. Three suspects, Francis Kinyanjui, 53, Gladys Wanjiku, 36, and Stephen Njoroge, 33, were arrested at West View Plaza in Kahawa West estate.
According to police, the three were found in possession of a Toyota Probox, mobile phones, several SIM cards, and assorted psychotropic drugs. They will be arraigned in court on Monday.
The arrests come just a week after a police officer, Arthur Gakuya, had his drink spiked by two female companions and robbed of more than Sh450,000 in Nairobi. In July, three suspects were arraigned in a Nairobi court and charged with drugging and stealing Sh370,000 from a woman in the Central Business District (CBD).
