Kenyan Lady Caught Sneaking to Madagascar Hiding Cocaine in her Under Garments.
Kenyan Lady Caught Sneaking to Madagascar Hiding Cocaine in her Under Garments: A woman’s strategy to traffick 57 pellets of cocaine to Madagascar by escaping the security at the Jomo Kenyatta Intn’l Airport proved futile last night, when anti-narcotics detectives noted the drug stuffed in her under garments and rerouted her travel itinerary to a police cell.
In the 10.30pm interception, Apoko Damaris Adhiambo, 32 was flagged down at terminal A1’s central screening area, as she checked in to board Kenya Airways KQ 256 flight to Antananarivo, Madagascar.
A body scanner at the checkpoint revealed suspicious items concealed around her privates, triggering a quick search that saw 600g of the highly addictive gak discovered. A spot test conducted on the discovery was positive for the coca product.
After a moment of interrogation by female anti-narcotics officers, Apoko revealed to have been recruited by a Ugandan national identified as Harriet Asaba who resided within the Kenyan Capital.
Deploying forensic technologies, detectives traced Asaba to Accra Road in Nairobi CBD and effected her arrest.
In the pursuit to break the entire syndicate, the second suspect led officers to Free Area Hotel building and into the VIP Beauty Shop, where a meticulous search was conducted and another 33 pellets of crack found.
Therein, three more suspects namely Nangonzi Shirah (a Ugandan national), Esther Wanjiru, 24 and Sophia Kathambi aged 24 were also rounded up.
Presumptive test on the second recovery also tested positive for Cocaine, weighing approximately 396 grams.
Whereas prosecution processes have been instigated on the arrested suspects, further investigations are ongoing jointly with the InterPol team to track down the recipients of the drugs at Antananarivo.
