A Tanzanian drug trafficker who was among three arrested for drug trafficking at JKIA on Thursday has emitted 69 pellets.

The lot was arrested for allegedly transporting narcotics concealed in their rectum. The pellets were detected during a security screening.

The DCI said the suspects, who are still under observation, were on their way to China and India.

"Msafiri Musa, a Tanzanian has already emitted 47 Pellets of Narcotics. All suspects still under observation," DCI said in a tweet.
