It took a couple of days, but Mashaka Ahmed Nzoka proved an informant right when he excreted 86 packets of heroin while in police custody in Tanzania.
Anti-drug unit head Esaka Mugasa said the 23-year-old Tanzanian was arrested on Monday shortly after arriving at Dar es Salaam airport from Bombay.
"Nzoka had a Somali passport and was on transit to Entebbe in Uganda. We arrested him after a tip-off, and on interrogation, we learnt that he was a Tanzanian.
"He was forced to purge and had by Wednesday afternoon excreted 86 packets of the drugs, which he swallowed before boarding the Air India plane," Mugasa said.
