A Ugandan national has been extradited to Kenya to face drug trafficking charges after allegedly sending a narcotics-laced parcel via a Nairobi courier. The woman was rearrested at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and presented before a Nairobi court on Monday.

• The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) secured the extradition through Interpol after investigations linked her to a suspicious shipment intercepted at JKIA’s DHL cargo shed in May 2023.
• The package, declared as 25 shower curtains, was destined for Bahrain and found to contain a greenish plant substance, testing positive for banned psychotropic substances.
• The suspect, who reportedly fled to Uganda shortly after dispatching the parcel from Kitengela, will be detained for three working days at Embakasi Police Station to conclude investigations.
