The recent discovery of some 24 kilos of methamphetamine (crystal meth) allegedly in the hands of seven navy officers valued at Sh192 million has raised questions over the handling of exhibits.
This discovery was laid bare in court after the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arraigned the officers in court seeking orders to hold them and scrutinise their phones.
