Kenyan authorities have arrested 29 suspects and seized counterfeit goods worth more than Ksh62.7 million during a three-day nationwide operation, dubbed Usalama XII. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations said the intelligence-led operation ran across Nairobi, Central, Coast, Rift Valley, Eastern, Nyanza and Western regions, with a multi-agency team working alongside INTERPOL. Officers targeted counterfeit goods, illicit alcohol, soft drinks, smuggled cigarettes, self-care products, falsified pharmaceuticals, human trafficking and wildlife-related crimes. The crackdown involved the Kenya Revenue Authority, Anti-Counterfeit Authority, Kenya Wildlife Service, Transnational Organized Crime Unit, Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit, National Anti-Narcotic Investigations Bureau, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, brand owners and local police units. During the operation, police recorded 29 arrests, seized suspected counterfeit and contraband goods valued at over Ksh62.7 million, and carried out 198 motor vehicle checks using INTERPOL databases. The team also rescued seven suspected trafficking victims and recovered 85 Kenyan passports from a suspected illegal recruitment agency. In Nairobi, investigators recovered suspected counterfeit consumer goods, electrical accessories and automotive components worth millions of shillings, including 3,991 suspected counterfeit Samsung and iPhone adapters and 1,963 football jerseys and Adidas balls. Elsewhere, officers seized suspected falsified pharmaceuticals, including supplies diverted from an unlicensed clinic in Kayole, and recovered bottles suspected to contain narcotic or psychotropic substances from a pharmacy in Eastleigh. In Nakuru County, a suspect was arrested transporting 90,000 sticks of suspected smuggled cigarettes valued at about Ksh2 million, along with recovered counterfeit excise stamps. Wildlife enforcement led by Kenya Wildlife Service recovered illegal fishing equipment and wildlife products, including dik-dik carcasses, zebra meat, cedar posts, mangrove rafters and fish, with nine suspects arrested at Lake Nakuru National Park. Investigations into the seized items and arrested suspects are ongoing, including forensic analysis of suspected psychoactive substances, verification of counterfeit goods, and further inquiries into illegal recruitment, human trafficking, pharmaceutical offences and illicit alcohol trade.
