Two Kenya Airways cabin crew members have been arrested on suspicion of trying to smuggle drugs out of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in the capital, Nairobi.
This is contained in a statement released by Kenya Airways. The two are thought to have been arrested before their flight took off for Benin’s main city, Cotonou, but Kenya Airways has not confirmed this.
The airline said it was working with the authorities “to get to the bottom of the matter” and it “does not condone any illegal activities by staff members”.
Kenya Airways, which flies to several destinations across Africa, said it 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,” it said.
