Over 25,800 litres of Diesel and 1,300 litres of Petrol were yesterday seized at a notorious siphoning den within Nairobi’s Lungalunga area, where 10 suspects were also arrested.
The seizure and subsequent arrest of the suspects followed numerous complaints from motorists operating within Makadara sub-county regarding counterfeiting and distribution of adulterated fuel.
In the godown located along Rangwe road, four lorries and a pickup, siphoning materials, five generators, 108 drums and several 20L jericans were also confiscated.
The motor vehicles have been detained at Lungalunga Police Station and all exhibits secured, as the prisoners face appropriate charges at Makadara Law Courts.
