A woman has been arrested in Nairobi as she allegedly tried to smuggle narcotics to India.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the suspect was attempting to board a plane at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Goa, India, when she was arrested, before 1.3 kilogrammes of cocaine were allegedly recovered from her.
A DCI statement said that sleuths arrested the 25-year-old suspect and recovered the drugs she had reportedly wrapped in yellow sellotape and concealed inside her bag. "The suspect learned the hard way that smuggling drugs is a fast track to jail time, not a holiday in the sun.
The aspiring drug mule was nabbed by eagle-eyed Anti-Narcotics Unit detectives at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as she attempted to board a flight to Goa, India," DCI stated. "Her travel plans hit turbulence when sharp-sighted detectives flagged her down for a routine check.
