A 21-year-old man was yesterday caught at the airport with 900 grams of cocaine concealed in his stomach.

The police had been tipped off about him. They waited for him to walk through Customs after disembarking from his flight from Brussels.

The man, who is Liberian, initially denied all accusations but a scan later revealed 90 capsules hidden inside him.

Although born in Liberia, he holds a Romanian passport after obtaining refugee status, the police said.
