A Rwandan Nurse was arrested by Aviation police as she tried to smuggle out cocaine worth Shs397million.
Beatrice Isaro was nabbed using the new technology that was recently installed at Entebbe International Airport.
“Police recently procured machines with high technology intelligence which can never miss any slight illegal slip-in and that’s why we were able to arrest Isaro who tried to smuggle narcotic drugs out of the country,” said the CIID Spokesperson Vincent Ssekate.
This website understands that Isaro had hid the cocaine in a suitcase.
Isaro was found with a Rwandan passport number EC 298229 and 1.59 Kgs of cocaine that was being transported to Bamako the capital city of Mali.
The police swung in and arrested her together with her counterpart Mr. Haruna Koli that was following her up.
Isaro is the second female to be arrested smuggling cocaine through Entebbe Airport within a period of one month.
The first arrest was Allen Nankanja who was arrested trying to smuggle cocaine from Brazil into Uganda through her knickers.
Isaro a born of Lwebitakuli told Police that the suitcase was given to her by her friend called Issa that had met her earlier at Pioneer Mall and asked her to deliver it to his brother in Mali.
When asked about the reason for travelling to Mali she said a friend called Mitchel requested for her help in buying merchandise and reselling it in Kigali.
Isaro was charged with Smuggling Narcotic Drugs vide CRB 333/17 and is detained at Entebbe Aiport Police cells pending court.
