The man, identified as Mohamed Jibril Ali, is reported to have concealed the three kilos of heroin in his shoe soles.

Ali was on his way to board a fight to Dubai when he was nabbed with the drugs said to be worth Sh10 million.

Anti narcotics unit officers searched his Mombasa home but didn't find any drugs.

According to the Standard, the suspect who is said to travel to Dubai frequently, is currently under investigation as police seek to establish the origin of the drugs.

This comes days after the sons of slain drug baron Ibrahim Akasha were extradited to the US over drug trafficking claims.
