Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) announced that customs officers at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) intercepted concealed heroine and bhang that were being smuggled through an international courier service provider on Wednesday. The two consignments, according to KRA, had originated from different countries and headed for different destinations. “KRA Customs officers jointly with other officers from the Multiagency Team (MAT) at JKIA opened the consignments for 100 per cent verification after the scanner showed some concealments,” the statement read in part. It added that the heroin was concealed in the buttons of dresses in the consignment while the bhang was wrapped in a black polythene paper concealed in an inner pocket of a kitenge cloth. Upon checking, we established that they were carrying 19 bags of bhang,” said Parklands DCI boss David Chebii.
