A court-supervised bhang destruction exercise disposed of 266 kilogrammes of cannabis sativa at AIC Kapsowar Mission Hospital’s incinerator. The exercise followed an order that the Iten Law Courts issued on 30 October 2026.
The drugs formed part of a trafficking case against Vincent Odhiambo. The court convicted him of trafficking in narcotic drugs and imposed a 10-year prison sentence, with a Sh24 million fine as an alternative.
