Anti-Narcotics detectives at JKIA have arrested a 26-year-old drug peddler smuggling cocaine by ingesting the pellets.
“Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Anti-Narcotics detectives are preparing for arraignment, a 26-year-old drug peddler, Wendy Mbeke Muli, who attempted to smuggle cocaine by ingesting pellets, in a desperate move aimed at evading arrest.
Mbeke, whose confidence was clearly larger than her carry-on luggage, was intercepted by hawk-eyed detectives on June 13, 2025, at around 10:00 a.m., just minutes before boarding an outbound flight. Her uneasy demeanour during a routine screening set off alarm bells.
Following this, she was subjected to a thorough search. It was soon established that she had concealed foreign substances inside her body cavity, prompting immediate medical observation.” said DCI
After she was kept under observation, the suspect excreted six pellets of the drug which weigh approximately 626.65 grams.
