“All of the men were searched, but only the accused was found in possession of drugs wrapped in a small plastic bag, which he allegedly admitted, was nyaope.
“The second suspect was stopped while he was walking in the informal settlement and was found in possession of a similar substance as was found in the first suspect’s possession.”
