A Nigerian national has been jailed for life for trafficking 22 kilos of heroin valued at Sh66 million.

A court sitting at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport also fined Autine Obinwanne Igwillo Sh180 million for the offence after he was found guilty in the historic ruling.


Principle magistrate Lucas Onyina delivered the ruling on October 6, 2021.

Igwillo was arrested in November 2017 alongside four others who he had recruited into drug trafficking business with the help of Chadwick Okoth Dondi, a Kenyan national currently serving a 15-year jail term at Manyani maximum prison.

Chadwick had assembled the team for Patrick Chikezie Okonkwo aka Chairman, a Nigerian drug trafficker who used to coordinate his from Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania.

In 2017, Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) officers raided Igwillo’s residence in Savana Phase 4 Estate, where 22 kilograms of heroin were found hidden in the bedroom and kitchen.

Igwillo implicated Chadwik as the owner of the narcotics. Three more kilograms of heroin were seized.

Meanwhile, ANU officers raided various drug dens within Kahawa Wendani, Kasarani and Langata and three Kenyans and two Nigerian nationals who were found in possession of 2.6 kilograms of heroin worth approximately Sh8 million.

The Nigerian nationals were identified as Haruna Ajayi Mutairu and Raheem Yusuf Owolabi.

The suspects were arraigned before the JKIA court on Monday and detained.

The Kenyans were arrested on October 11 while in their drug den located within Kahawa Sukari. They were found blending and re-packaging the narcotics in readiness for distribution within Mathare.


During the search, several packages of heroin weighing approximately three kilograms, cutting agents, packaging materials, square ruled books, a broken glass used for dividing narcotics, blenders, weighing scales and already packaged narcotics in bundles of 10 were recovered.

The traffickers receive their narcotics from Kampala in Uganda and Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania through courier services.

The other suspects Stephen Chege Wachege aka Hamid was arrested the following day within Sunton Estate in Kasarani while in possession of narcotic heroin weighing approximately 400 grams

In Langata Estate, Haruna Mutairu Ajayi and Raheem Yusuf Owolabi were arrested inside their rented house where about one kilogram of heroin was recovered. Assorted blending and packaging materials were also recovered.

Police have intensified operations against drug and human trafficking in the region, arresting dozens of suspects.

Police say traffickers now use roads as opposed to airports to carry out their business. Some of the narcotics are consumed in Kenya.

The most commonly trafficked narcotic is heroin which comes into Kenya through Tanzania and Uganda.

Kenya made the second biggest seizure of drugs in July 2016 and arrested two suspects who were linked to the 100 kilograms of cocaine valued at Sh598 million. It was disguised as sugar.

The case was later dismissed in court.

Career / Re: Why Do Our Lawyers Still Wear White Man Wigs? by lennymutai(m): 5:04am On Nov 03, 2018
Rossikki:
Nearly 60 years after independence from colonial rule, why do our lawyers still wear these things on their heads?



Is it that we cannot devise a home-grown attire for our lawyers, or is it that we so love the colonial rulers and exploiters of our land, that we just cannot let go of their legacy?

Did somebody do juju on us to turn us into mumus where the colonialists are concerned?

India, Pakistan, and parts of China were colonised by the British. But their legal systems have jettisoned those colonial wigs ages ago.

In Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and other ex-colonies, still continue to wear them.

What is wrong with us as a people?

Seriously, we need to approach our ancestors for forgiveness, in case we did something to them that made them place a curse on us, that has turned us into dumb mumus without basic common sense and dignity, especially where it concerns Europeans.

Imagine for a second how the white people will be laughing their heads off when they see us wearing these things, a full sixty years after independence.

It's truly disgusting.



we still practice law law thought by them.It is their system.How times have heard lawyers when arguing a case reffering to case ruled in england years.Reyland vs fletcher Solomon vs Solomon.No matter how much we think we have freed from the yoke of colonialism it is sad that in reality that isn't true.A country like Ethiopia that was never colonised may find it easier to run their systems without import from any other country.It also depents On the way you look at it,for example a young graduate from college who has been studying law and growing knowing that one day I will put on that wig so to him or her it will be fulfilling once he or she finally does that.In other words it is a symbol.If we must do away with this we must also do away with military badges and symbols.

FYI our products are being sold outside east Africa.actually we sell more in SADC region than in east africa.yes we are not much advanced but we are in a right footing.
We in Tanzania don't moan about ujamaa.It was a path which we traveled.we abolished it in 1985.Its stupid to keep on blaming ujamaa.China was a socialist too,so as Vietnam.But look at them now! Ghana wasn't a socialist.Is it developed?Kenya wasn't a socialist but alas is still poor and hungry...actually we feed them.
Our current account deficit have narrowed by 43% in 2017. So we import less than we used to.by 2019 we will have a surplass.So the issue of weaker currency don't worry our think tanks.what we need is to keep on exporting.If Vietnam and China are doing it why can't we?Remember we have same ideologies with them.
Our interest rates is 14%.its still high enough.we attracted more FDI than any nation in east African community.
Why are so bitter with Kenya?Reality is Kenya is far better than Tanzania keep burying your head in the sand.No matter how much dirt you talk about Kenya that won't change facts.

Nigerian men causing trouble in Eastlands
NaiNotepad By Nairobian team 1 day ago
Share this Story
    
by Taboola In April this year, a city court ordered for the immediate deportation of Nigerian national, Okeke Patrick Godwin Chukwudu.
The court determined that the 56-year-old man had lived in the country without valid documents, and preyed on hundreds of Kenyan women, often dumping them for others, as a cruel means of survival.
Image
One of the aggrieved women went to court, pouring out her tribulations suffered in the hands of Okeke. Chief magistrate Francis Andayi ordered police and immigration officers last April to immediately extradite him.
In the court, the Nigerian was portrayed as an illegal immigrant who feasted on gullible women by first promising them the good things in life. Meanwhile, he emptied their bank accounts and had sex with them before fleeing once the cash taps dry, leaving behind heartbroken and bankrupt Kenyan ladies.
Okeke is the epitome of a typical Nigerian con artist who when not enslaving a woman with love, is scheming how to make quick money without breaking a sweat.
Welcome to the wild world of some Nigerian men who have made Nairobi home until recently, most Nigerians preferred living in city’s upmarket addresses. But now, they are all over and have taken Eastland’s by storm, leaving Kenyan Eastlanders a worried lot thanks to the foreigners’ love charm, bottomless pockets and partying addition.
The influx is manifest in Umoja, Savana, Tena, Utawala, Mihango, Kasarani, Roysambu, Zimmerman, Mlolongo, Athi River and Kitengela where some locals have been forced to adjust lifestyles in order to compete with Oga men.
In some estates, the cost of sex has gone up, same as rent because Nigerians pay more. Security wise, there are reports of a surge in crime as a result of the Oga men accused of recruiting gullible youth into pornography and drugs. Locals also complain the foreigners are fond of infringing on their right to privacy by turning rowdy during odd hours of the night.
So what makes Kenya, a country with less employment opportunities, an attractive destiny for our Oga brothers? Corruption was a constant response from residents we interviewed about their views about Nigerians perceived to be fraudsters and drug traffickers.
Henry Ochieng, CEO, Kenya Alliance of Residents Association (Kara), says the influx is as a result of weak immigration rules, adding that the Nigerians are pulled into the country to tap into illegal opportunities thriving as a result of corruption.
“These people are able to play dirty by dealing in fake money (wash wash), money laundering or drugs knowing very well they will not be caught or punishment is lenient. They are actually exploiting loopholes in our weak laws,” observes Ochieng.
The Nigerians allegedly pay double normal house rents and run away with women who fall for their generosity.
A spot check by The Nairobian found out that a one bedroomed house, which went for Sh15,000 two years ago, is now trading at Sh25, 000 in Roysambu.
“These guys never bargain. They dish out whatever you ask or even more, if there are competitors. Wakipenda nyumba wanachukua . This is why landlords have raised rents for most of the apartments,” says caretaker John Kiango.”
“A Landlord in Umoja once got into trouble when he tried to question the Nigerians on what they exactly did for a living after tenants complained of an extravagant lifestyle, completely contrasting their idling nature.
“You nigger, don’t you have something else to do, why do you keep snooping into our private lives yet we are paying you rent?” this was the response Paul Chege got from one of Oga.
He would politely request the aliens to vacate his building but they refused even after giving them a two-month notice. They purported to import hair weaves.
Chege sought the assistance of police who conducted a search, netting bundles of notes and a money printing machine in the house.
According to Cleophas Okumu, chairman, Umoja Residents Association, little is known about most of the Nigerians in the area who lead decent lifestyles. “I don’t understand how they are living in nice houses yet most of them do not do any known job,” he says.
They make their presence felt when partying at night in social joints or in their private residences. During such times, they loosen the purses for women to join their company.
“You can’t figure out what is going around but there are lots of movements at nights. They are rude even to property owners. They smoke marijuana openly in our apartment but we have no say,” says Duncan, a resident who shares an apartment with them behind Thika Road Mall.
The same phenomenon is replicated in Roysambu and Zimmerman where, apart from being spendthrifts, they are accused of engaging in ‘wash wash’ business.
Amid the drama, some are students at United States International University Africa (USIU). John Kabuu, a quality assurance officer at the university admits that a sizeable number of Nigerians study there.
“Yes we have Nigerians in their hundreds, and we know many of them reside in Kasarani, which is close to the campus. But not all Nigerians who live along Thika Road are students,” he told The Nairobian.
Kabuu, while distancing the institution from the bad behaviour of Nigerians, said the administration has no control over what students do while out of the institution.
“However, we’ve had instances where some Nigerians registered for courses, studied for one semester then disappeared. That means they are around illegally because their student passes should be valid for a given period of time,” he revealed.
Before admission, the official disclosed a background check is conducted on foreign students applying for admission.
“Actually, as per the requirement of the Commission for University Education, and in order to avoid such instances, nowadays students from Nigeria are needed to issue certificates of good conduct from a police station in Nigeria, before being enrolled,” he explained.
In Kitengela, police bust a drug ring whose supply chain was traced to Roysambu and Zimmerman. Security agents blamed landlords for failing to scrutinise foreigners before letting them in.
Local AP boss Sergeant Juma Kioko advised home owners to be strict.
“If residents could have been reporting these issues we would have tamed this menace. We are getting their concerns when it is late. Landlords focus on their deep pockets at the expense of security,” said Kioko.
“I am aware of the influx and many according to reports we have are in drugs, cybercrime, wash wash and pornography making activities,” says Kitengela area Chief William Makui.
Adding: “It is worrying that our girls are so desperate to make pornographic films with them. You find a house has five Nigerians and one local girl, but I assure you we are taking action.”
Ikechukwu Arthur Anoke, a Nigerian businessman is unhappy that a stereotype has been created about his compatriots being bad people, who make money through fraudulent means. According to him, there is a sizeable number of students, clergy, expatriates and traders who are law abiding, save for a few individuals hell-bent on straying.
“We agree some of them involve in fraud, but they constitute less than one per cent of the hardworking Nigerian community helping develop Kenya,” says Ikechukwu, group managing director, Play Communication Limited.
He says by working closely with the Nigerian High Commission, they identity the ‘bad boys’ who are advised to return home.
“We also would request to collaborate with local security in the best way forward because arresting them and deporting them has not been a solution. We need them to tell us their accomplices back home,” observes the businessman adding that some West African nationals pose as Nigerians when committing crimes.
Emannuel Mike Ojo who lives in Fedha estate denies his compatriots are bad, challenging authorities to take action against those found contravening the law. He says most of them are straight forward.
“If I was a conman, I wouldn’t be here. It is difficult to find yourself in Fedha Estate if you are a bad man. The government has the mechanism to know bad elements in the society and will remove them out. We are very good people and we work hard like any other person to earn a living. I don’t know why some people would come up with these derogatory remarks about Nigerians,” he told The Nairobian.
For Godson Ojigbo, crime is not a preserve of certain people.
“If all Kenyans were good, we would not have these vices or prisons. We the Nigerians are not unique in anyway, I cannot speak on behalf of all Nigerians but I can say I am a good man,” argues Ojigbo.
But John Njoroge, the in charge of operations, Flying Squad says someNigerians “con victims by pretending they can multiply their money.”
Nineteen Nigerians were recently seized in a police swoop targeting electronic skimming fraudsters hiding in Umoja, Kasarani and Roysambu.
Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss George Kinoti said the suspects often lure victims through social media platforms.
“The fraudsters start by befriending you on social media (Facebook) and once you accept the friend request they initiate a friendly chat that promises the victim goodies to be sent through DHL at the airport,” he explained.

As far as dairying is concerned, i can assure you the giant is waaaay behind ordinary kenya. Most of your powdered milk which is abomination to kenyans, is from Holland /Denmark /new Zealand imports. Are you aware Dangote has plans for a dairy plant in Kenya to export to 9ja as powdered milk? Kenya dairy industry is much much much larger than almost all African countries, they come to learn from us. It accounts for some 3.5-4% of GDP. Did you know that?

And get out with your weak examples. Your knowledge of what constitutes a military uniform is as deficient as geo-politics. John Atta Mills was given a full military funeral, not buried in a military uniform. Maybe in Kenya what Obama is wearing constitutes a military uniform.
Ditto the South Korean civilian leaders.
And lastly, UK royals who've not served in an active capacity and are attached to certain regiments, will only wear dress uniforms, NOT cammo.
worldover elected leaders by virtue of being elected becomes commaders in cheif and the military regallia and befiting rank are availled it is for them to choose to wear it or not.many choose not wear it because of simple reason It will appear that they rule millitarily and not democracy.

Politics / Re: Kenyan Lamentations About Nigeria Dominance In Music And Africa Politics by lennymutai(m): 5:23am On Sep 05, 2015
i think the lamentations was misplaced.and the dominance is non existend more so on african politics.kenyan music serve kenyans well abit of foriegn music is not ba as well.The nigerian music being played is not even 5%.For example if you ask an average kenyan to name you five nigerian musicians he or she will rarely go past two.As a liberal country kenyans will always have a choice of what they want not withstanding noises from some disgruntled musicians wannabes.As for african politics i think southafrica still does dominate the scene not even the economy and population of nigeria threatens that.Southafrica's foreign policy and influence by southafrican companies which are in almost every african country is what bloster it's dominance.Nigeria on the on the other hand has had its image tarnished by some immoral citizen who more often than not are invovled with a few scams or drug dealing here and there.Their goverment has no clear foreign policy may the govt of president mohamed buhari will do something to change this perception.Lastly we are all africans and we must appriciate that which origanates from africa before looking else where it is that which brings us together.So when Davido tours the U.S for a series of show before even steping to the next door neighbour,what does tells africans"that his product are tailored for americans who might not be intrested".Have self reflecting day.

What you are practically saying is that citizens of France are superior to the Kenyan people because France is an European nation?.
Of course,I know the difference and the circumstance surrounding both #ChibokGirls and #GarissaAttack,but i expect you to utilize your common sense to discern that while Kenya isnt a big international player,Africans should at least show solidarity with a fellow african country.
Only Nigeria showed solidarity with the kenyan people after the #GarissaAttack by strongly condemning such barbaric actions and vowing more support to the KDF .
Not citizens of france are more superior than kenyans but they will always be sympathized by fellow europens.

Why isnt #GarissaAttack in kenya generating worldwide mass outrage like the Nigerian #ChibokGirlsAbduction in 2014 or the Paris mall and magazine press attacks #CharlieHebdo?,is it that africans and the world at large dont value the lives of africans?,or are people just tired and exasperated about new islamic terrorist attacks?.
as for me,i say: NO TO ISLAMIC TERROR!!!!,BAN HIJABS!,BAN MASQUERADE CLOAKS!,BAN LONG BUSHY BEARDS!,LET US ALL LIVE LIKE 21TH CENTURY CIVILIZED FOLKS!,SAY NO TO A 1800 YEARS OLD WAY OF LIFE!,SAY NO TO BRUTALITY AND ANIMALISTIC INSTINCT!,ENOUGH OF ARABS DEPOPULATING THE AFRICAN CONTINENT BY WAGING JIHAD AND ETHNIC ISLAM!,SAY NO TO VIOLENCE!!!!!!
Then you should have visited #westgate mall attack.The difference between #Garrisa attack and #Chibokgirls attack is time.Secondly chibok girld can still be rescued they are still alive garrisa's are dead bodies.France is a Europen nation.Spot the difference.

Even same Nigeria, Nigeria government do not take care of her citizen, talkless of outside.. To be honest, we have no good reputation outside world. We are always treated special.

Nigerians, it is a must to respect law. If you can respect your country law, nothing bad in obeying others. Let the change begins.
Talk of people being got on the wrong side of the law.Otherwise genuine people get genuine treatment.The law is a duoble edged sword.
