In an operation conducted by Makadara Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss Steven Mutua, the contaminated gasoline cartel was busted with 25,000 gallons of petrol.
Makadara police head Timon Odingo told a local media in the country that the officers were acting on the information provided by members of the public.
Six cars, including a government-registered lorry belonging to the Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS), five generators, 97 jerrycans, four diesel drums, and seven kerosene drums were also discovered during the operation.

“We have impounded the vehicles and the tools they were using,” said Mr. Odingo.
He also added that the suspects are being detained at Industrial Area Police Station pending arraignment.
“We’re still investigating to see whether there were other people involved in the illegal trade. If there are, we will arrest them. We believe this has been going on for a long time.”
