Nairobi, April 10 (Jonglei Times)-A Kenyan suspect who left the country after being linked to a Sh22 million heroin haul that was destroyed in the high seas in 2014 has been arrested.

Police on Monday locked up Ndechumia Bilali Kimali soon after he touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi from Madagascar.

In a statement, police said Mr Kimali is linked to the 7.6 kilogrammes of heroin that were blown up in the Indian Ocean on August 14, 2014.

The Kenya Defence Forces destroyed the narcotics together with a luxurious yacht, christened Baby Iris, that was trying to enter Kenya.

The hard drugs were in transit to Swaziland, according to security sources in the ocean.
