Anti-narcotics detectives stationed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport have intercepted a stash of Heroin valued at Ksh.3.2 million and apprehended the trafficker, a 37-year-old Polish national named Arkadiusz Stanislaw.

The arrest took place at JKIA's Terminal 1C, just moments before Stanislaw was set to board an Egyptian airline en route to Hungary. The illicit substance was discovered concealed in his luggage.

The trafficker who was destined for Hungary's capital (Budapest) has since been booked in police cells awaiting further processing and arraignment.

Stanislaw's arrest comes at a time when crackdowns on drug traffickers and unlicensed brewers have been heightened, a move by the government to foil the illicit trade in the country.

The Director Anti-Narcotics Directorate Ms Margaret Karanja warns that all those caught up in the ring of traffickers and peddlers will be treated with the severity of the law, despite their roles in the trade.
