The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers on Tuesday arrested a United States citizen who ingested several pellets of cocaine in a bid to traffic them from Alabama to Saudi Arabia.
According to the detectives, the suspected drug trafficker was nabbed after a tip-off from a doctor at a hospital in Nairobi. The suspect, who is currently recuperating, had on Sunday, February 16, been taken to the hospital by his friend and was admitted for examination after exhibiting symptoms of excessive drugging.
Moments after being admitted, the doctor promptly alerted anti-narcotics detectives from DCI Headquarters who visited the facility to witness an endoscopy process on the suspect.
