In a statement on Tuesday, April 16, DCI said the three suspects who have been identified as Ali Fatah, Abdi Jabar Hussein, and Bonface Ouma Awili were nabbed along the Kitale-Endebess road while preparing to transit the stolen subsidized fertilizer to a neighboring country.

Other brands were; four bags of DAP-OCP, 26 bags of FOMI OTESHA, 34 bags of Simba Urea, 16 bags of Falcon Ammonia Sulphate, and one bag of Nafaka Plus weighing 50kg.
