NGARA: Police officers from the Central Police Station have dismantled a suspected counterfeit currency operation in Ngara, Nairobi, arresting seven people in a targeted intelligence-led raid.

The suspects include Tanzanian national Manyara Aroon Nicas, Congolese national Abbott Antony, and four Kenyans — Mongele Wambura, James Ngugi, Justus Alubokho Opulu, and Mary Mumbi.

They were apprehended during a raid at Travellers House, following a coordinated operation.
