Seven people in Nyeri have been arrested after officers raided a residential home in the Micha area within Nyeri Town Constituency and discovered large quantities of meat suspected to be from more than three stolen cows.

During the operation, police found some of the meat freshly slaughtered while other portions had been stored in deep freezers, raising fears that the meat was being prepared for sale to unsuspecting members of the public.
