Tanzania tightens airport scans after corpse drug bust

Dar es Salaam. The Drug Control and Enforcement Authority (DCEA) has confirmed that every corpse repatriated to Tanzania is now subjected to mandatory screening to determine whether human remains are being exploited to traffic illicit drugs.

DCEA Commissioner General, Mr Aretas Lyimo, said the move follows the discovery of a gruesome tactic in which traffickers hollow out corpses to conceal narcotics.
