Customs officers at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport intercepted 40 unregistered iPhone 18 Pro devices during a routine inspection. The phones were found in the luggage of a passenger who had entered Kenya four times within nine days. This repeated movement has prompted authorities to investigate potential smuggling activities.
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) confirmed the seizure and noted the unusual travel pattern of the individual. The total value of the devices is estimated at Sh8.2 million. Officials are currently examining the case to determine if further action is required. No arrests have been made yet.
This incident highlights ongoing efforts to combat illegal imports and tax evasion. The KRA has previously reported similar cases, indicating a pattern of repeated entries by individuals attempting to smuggle goods. The recent seizure adds to growing concerns about border control and customs enforcement. The case is under review, with further details expected in the coming days.
