A foreigner entering Kenya from Bangkok is currently being held at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Police Station after trying to smuggle in 41.7 kilograms of bhang.
According to a report by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on July 27, the 57-year-old tried to evade the authorities but was caught after a coordinated investigation.
Reportedly, he was already cleared by immigration and was waiting for his bags to be screened by customs officials when he faked a phone call.
He left the two suspiciously heavy bags at the screening station and made his way out of the airport successfully, just as the officers recovered the drug haul.
