Kenyan detectives have apprehended a Polish individual suspected of drug trafficking at the main airport in the capital, Nairobi.

The suspect, identified as Arkadiusz Stanislaw, was taken into custody with heroin worth $22,000 (£18,000) just moments before attempting to board an Egypt-bound Hungarian airline at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

The police have detained Stanislaw, and he is currently awaiting court arraignment.

Margaret Karanja, the Director of Kenya's Anti-Narcotics Directorate, has issued a stern warning, stating that all individuals involved in drug-related activities will face the full force of the law, regardless of their role in the trade.

It's important to note that East Africa is a significant transit point for the trafficking of drugs from the Middle East to the West.
