Preaching water and drinking wine. This would be a suitable phrase to describe Joseph Njau Ng’endo. He has been campaigning against drug abuse and always looked forward to a drugs free nation.
It seem Njau’s campaigns were just blind folds to the nation as he has been arrested after being caught with five kilos of heroin in Westlands, Nairobi. He was arrested on his return from Kampala, Uganda where he had travelled to.
Police in the operation said he had left Nairobi on Wednesday night traveling by bus and returned with concealed drugs in paws paw fruits. The suspect had procured the narcotics from a Nigerian based in Kampala. Officials at the anti narcotics police said the suspect is part of a larger heroin distribution network in Nairobi.
Police records indicate he is a frequent traveler to Uganda. He has a pattern of leaving Kenya through Busia border and comes back to Kenya through Malaba border apparently to evade detection. When not dealing with drugs the suspect works part time as an anti-drug abuse campaigner. He regularly visits schools and social gatherings to give talks against drug abuse.
