2 suspected Byo drug lords in court

TWO Bulawayo men busted in a dramatic anti-drug operation in Bulawayo last week appeared in court on Monday, facing charges of violating the country’s drug trafficking laws.

Arkimon Sarishonga (41) and Blessing Muchenje (27) were arrested in a raid at their flat in the central business district, where an assortment of illicit drugs was recovered by police units, including the Criminal Investigation Department Drugs and Canine Unit.

There were claims that their flat, situated at the corner of 1st Avenue and Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Street, was a haven for crime and also a supply source for the notorious Vuzu parties.
