Four arrested at Nairobi's Oyster Bay Restaurant in NACADA shisha crackdown

The arrests come as part of a crackdown on establishments involved in the illicit trade of shisha.

NACADA's Compliance and Enforcement officers acting on intelligence descended upon Oyster Bay Cafe Restaurant in Kilimani, Nairobi where they apprehended four individuals allegedly involved in the sale and distribution of shisha products.

Among those detained were the manager, sellers, and a storekeeper linked to the establishment.

"These arrests mark a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to combat the scourge of shisha consumption," stated NACADA. "We are committed to dismantling the networks facilitating the sale and distribution of shisha, which poses significant health risks to our citizens, particularly the youth."

The operation also resulted in the confiscation of a substantial quantity of shisha paraphernalia, including 46 shisha bongs, assorted flavored tobacco, charcoal pipes, and a meticulous stock-taking counterbook used in inventory management.

The detained individuals are currently in custody, pending the completion of thorough investigations. They will subsequently be arraigned in court to face charges related to their involvement in the illegal shisha trade.
