Ten security officers and four popular Tanzanian artistes were questioned at the Dar es Salaam Regional Police Station Friday in connection to an alleged drug trafficking syndicate.

The artistes, who included musicians and movie actors, reported to the police station on Friday morning following orders by the Dar Regional Commissioner Mr Paul Makonda which he had issued on Thursday through the press.
