A 41-year-old woman was arrested by detectives from the Anti-Narcotics Unit at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) due to a failed attempt to smuggle drugs to Dubai just minutes before takeoff. 

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the trafficker, Anna Nekesa Kisaka, had turned herself into a smuggling vessel, concealing several pellets of cocaine inside her body in a desperate attempt to outwit the airport security. 

Her plan, however, fell apart when detectives, acting on instinct and intelligence, stopped her for an additional screening. Their suspicions were accurate as the scans revealed the illicit cargo she carried inside her. 

Kisaka was later placed under medical supervision, where she excreted three pellets of cocaine. 

“Now cooling her heels in custody, Nekesa’s ‘import-export’ mission has ended before it even took off,” the DCI stated as investigations concluded ahead of presenting the suspect in court.
