Police arrest 44 school kids at a house in Mountain View Estate, Nairobi alcohol & bhang seized

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested 44 school kids at the Mountain View Estate in Nairobi.

The kids who included 26 boys and 18 girls are aged between 14 and 17 years. All are in primary and secondary schools.

In a statement after the arrests, DCI detectives said various alcohol brands and bhang were recovered.

Also arrested was 41-year-old Millicent Kithinji who had hosted the children at her house. She was picked up by Darogetti-based detectives for questioning.

And although the probe into the matter is ongoing, detectives say the kids had traveled from Nairobi and Machakos, begging the question of how they travelled in a group without detection.

Their parents have since been contacted with police toiling to establish why the woman had hosted the children and how they had travelled.
