Saudi customer inspectors arrested an African passenger trying to smuggle 909gm of cocaine into the Gulf Kingdom by hiding the stuff in his stomach.

The inspectors at the airport in the Western Red Sea port of Jeddah decided to scan the man after suspecting he was carrying banned stuff.

Imaging showed he had 80 capsules inside his stomach containing 909gm of pure cocaine, according to ‘Sabq’ newspaper.
