NAIROBI, Kenya - The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) recently intercepted a narcotics shipment at Eldoret International Airport, valued at Sh24.45 million. The consignment, disguised as various cosmetic products, was flagged by X-ray screening due to discrepancies between the images and declared contents. Upon physical inspection, KRA found an array of items concealed among the cosmetics.
Two batches of products tested positive for controlled substances, with one containing methamphetamine and the other amphetamine, totaling an estimated street value of Sh25.45 million. The remaining packages were tested and found to lack narcotic or psychotropic substances. The consignment, originally shipped from Dubai to Mombasa, has now been taken over by the Anti-Narcotics Unit of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for further investigation.
