President Kenyatta Orders Sinking of Ship off the Coast of Kenya

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta  has directed security agencies to
sink a ship which was seized while carrying drugs in the coastal city of Mombasa. 

President Kenyatta announced that he will lead security agencies to destroy the heroin valued at about 11.37 million U.S. dollars. 

Speaking at this year's Mombasa International Show, Mr. Kenyatta said he does not care who owns the ship or the drugs. 

He said the destruction will serve as a lesson to those bent on destroying  lives of the youth.  

The drugs were seized in July by security agencies who had a tip off by Interpol and U.S. drug reinforcement agencies.
