The DCI further noted that several packs of cannabis sativa popularly known as bhang were recovered during the raid.
“The shocking recovery of the deadly arsenal came after police officers acting on a tip-off, raided a house in the outskirts of Kinna town, at the crack of dawn. Also recovered were six stones of cannabis sativa and two numberless motorcycles, suspected to be getaway means used by the suspects. Two suspects Abdi Guyo, 35, and Amina Mohamed, 30, were also arrested in the early morning raid,” DCI’s statement read in part.

The suspects are currently being interrogated, with detectives hoping to establish their motive and whether they were working alone or in conjunction with a different team.
Looking at the cache of weapons recovered, the suspects were probably planning an attack in the country.
