Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet has confirmed that the government was behind the extradition of the Akasha brothers.
Boinnet, while addressing the press in Mombasa over the weekend said that the government carried out investigations before extraditing the two brothers.
He further denied allegations that the two brother accused of drug trafficking were arrested by foreigners.
" Who told you anybody has been arrested by foreigners? We did it ourselves. The entire investigations took time obviously because this was an international web, it involved other partners from foreign jurisdiction," said Boinnet.
Boinnet added that he was in Mombasa to congratulate the officers for carrying out the arrest.
"Just as it was said by His Excellence, the war has just started. Our determination is to ensure that we uproot the tree, the stem and the leaves. We do not want this country to be a country of narcotics.
The Akasha family has since denied any involvement in drug trafficking.
