Suspected narcotics nabbed at JKIA being ferried to US, Australia

Anti-narcotics detectives at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi on Tuesday intercepted four consignments that were suspected to have concealed narcotic substances.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the consignments were destined for Australia, Guinea Republic and the United States.

They were intercepted following intelligence leads.

“Three of the consignments had been declared as loincloth while the fourth had been declared as an automobile air conditioner,” detectives said in a report on Wednesday.

Police did not immediately confirm any arrests and the shipment has since been handed over to the government chemist for further analysis.
