Two Kenya Airways Cabin crew have been
arrested at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, with
substances suspected to be narcotics.
The
two male employees, according to Head of Anti- Narcotic Police Unit
Hamisi Masa, were arrested early Thursday morning, as they were about to
board a flight to Cotonou, Benin.
“They are being held at the Airport Police Station as the verification of the substance is ongoing,” Mr Masa said.
The two suspects were arrested as they were about to board the KQ 542, which left for the west African State at 8am.
KQ
in a statement said that the airline is aware of the incident and is
working in tandem with the relevant authorities to get to the bottom of
the matter.
“Kenya Airways adheres to
all regulations and laws of Kenya and the countries it operates in. In
addition, all members of crew are trained on these regulations and laws
and are expected to adhere to them at all times,” the national carrier
said.
