Suspicious repeat short trips by a passenger between Nairobi and Dubai have led to the discovery of a scheme some shrewd traders use to ship in undeclared high-value smartphones through the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport(JKIA).
The Kenya Revenue Authority(KRA) said the travel pattern by a single passenger prompted its customs officers to scrutinise the history of his trips and luggage, resulting in an interception of 40 undeclared iPhones valued Sh8.2 million at JKIA.
