A Ugandan national has been extradited to Kenya to face drug trafficking charges after allegedly sending a parcel laced with narcotics through a Nairobi courier facility.

The woman was rearrested at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) after being brought in from Uganda.

She was presented before a Nairobi court on Monday.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) secured the extradition through Interpol after investigations linked her to a suspicious shipment intercepted at JKIA's DHL cargo shed in May 2023.
