Police in Karonga have arrested a 26-year-old man, William Kishombe, for allegedly being found in possession of 10 sachets of cannabis sativa without a permit.
Confirming the development with Malawi24, Karonga Police Station public relations officer Constable Margret Msiska said Kishombe was arrested on December 30 at around 10:00 hours by detectives who were conducting general observations within Karonga Township.
