Police have arrested four people in connection with the selling and distributing of drug-laced cookies, pancakes and other snacks to students in schools and other unsuspecting members of the public.

Police Spokesperson, Fred Enanga, identified the four suspects as Racheal Matsanga, Suleiman Kasozi, Joshua Ayo, and Mbamazi Jovia.
He said these were operating from Kungu in Kira Division and delivering supplies in areas of Bugolobi, Kulambiro and Kira.

He revealed that the drug-bust was carried out after one of the High Schools suspended 10 students who ordered for the drug-laced cookies and consumed them during a school party.

“They claimed the drug-laced cookies made them “go-high” and further enabled them to enjoy the party to the maximum. The school recovered the drug-laced cookies and immediately suspended the 10 students who were involved in the scandal,” Enanga said.

He added that the school management further cooperated with the police which led to the arrest of the boda boda rider who delivered the snacks to schools plus the other three accomplices.

He said the packages recovered were found with labels that are similar to other snack items in shops thus making it difficult for young teenagers in schools to tell the difference until when they eat the snacks.

Enanga called for vigilance from students and parents saying the products can have after-effects like lethargy, dizziness, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, and distorted visions, among others.

“This is dangerous because of the fragile age group in high schools that ranges from 13 to 20 years and the health problems they face when they ingest these products. They can have after-effects like lethargy, dizziness, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, distorted visions, stomach pains and other weird feelings,” he said.

He noted that the four suspects are to be charged with drug trafficking for allegedly selling edibles and snacks laced with marijuana which cannot be tolerated.
