Two suspects held after lethal cargo discovered in backpack at Kanyonyoo roadblock, raising fresh terror jitters.

A routine traffic stop has averted a potential tragedy on the Garissa-Thika highway. Police have arrested two suspects after intercepting a haul of 30 rounds of live ammunition concealed in a backpack aboard a public service bus, sparking fresh security concerns along the busy corridor.
The discovery was made at a roadblock in the Kanyonyoo area of Kitui County, a known transit route that connects the North Eastern region to the capital. The multi-agency security team, operating on heightened vigilance, flagged down the bus for a standard search. What they found sends a chilling reminder of the illicit arms flow that continues to plague the region.
Witnesses report a tense scene as officers combed through the vehicle. The backpack, left unattended on a passenger seat, was opened to reveal the deadly cargo. When no passenger claimed ownership, police moved swiftly, narrowing down the suspects based on seating arrangements and behavior.
Security experts warn that the movement of small arms remains a primary threat to national stability. This bust highlights the critical importance of roadblocks and the vigilance of officers on the ground. The police have not ruled out further arrests as they map out the network behind this shipment.
"We will not relent," a security source confirmed. "Every bullet seized is a life saved." As investigations deepen, commuters are urged to remain alert and report suspicious luggage.
