DCI detectives on Tuesday afternoon seized narcotics worth millions of shillings at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

The consignment was hidden in a carton containing make-up kits.

The narcotics which comprised of heroin and methamphetamine were destined for New Zealand and China.

The DCI has already launched investigations to find those behind the trafficking.

In April 18, about 20 kilograms of drugs suspected to be heroin were intercepted at JKIA which

were concealed as Kericho Gold tea.

KRA agents on August 1 also seized 26 vape cartridges filled with cannabis oil and five one-gram sachets of hashish.

They were hidden in a package of vitamin tablets sent through a courier service provider and declared as candy.
