Police said the four will be arraigned on Friday once investigations are complete.
Last month, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i warned foreign drug dealers residing in Kenya that their days were numbered.
Mules
Speaking during a meeting with regional security heads at the School of Government in Kabete, Dr Matiang’i said dealers were using Kenyan women and girls as mules.
“Drug dealers have come to Nairobi and they have confused our girls,” he said.
“They live with them and when police come to arrest them (drug dealers), they claim they are married to a Kenyan. Marriage cannot be by word of mouth or by correspondence or by pretense. Marriage has to be proved in law.”
