Concealed in yellowish polythene paper, the detectives quickly realized the content inside it was indeed heroin before arresting the suspect pending further investigations.

This is not the first time such drugs have been confiscated at the busy airport as Kenya still stand as one of the avenues used by smugglers to conduct their illegal businesses.
