The Namibia Revenue Agency on Sunday confiscated cocaine valued at N$5,1 million at the Hosea Kutako International Airport, and a 40-year-old South African national has been arrested in connection with the incident.

The drugs were discovered concealed in the South African national's luggage after a scanning process was conducted.

The cocaine powder weighed 10,270 kg.

The suspect, who was coming from Brazil, is currently in the hands of the police and is set to appear in court in the coming days.

NamRa's Acting Chief of Strategic Communications and Support Engagements, Nesla Uatanaua, says the organization will continue to protect Namibians from harmful substances.
