Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has blasted the US Drug enforcement agency (DEA) for allegedly being malicious in their quest to finally put the Akasha brother’s drug saga case to bed.
The US Drug Enforcement Agency has already opened a file on Kenyan judges Chacha Mwita and Dora Chepkwony as well as the Akasha brother’s lawyer Cliff Ombeta. The trio could face prosecution in America as drug smugglers and be sentenced to life in imprisonment under their drug enforcement laws.
It is allegedly these judges that were approached and paid to frustrate the extradition process, making sure the Akashas were prosecuted in Kenya where a protection racket was in place.
Goswami, an associate of the Akasha brothers, has agreed to cooperate with investigators. The Indian drug smuggler has revealed that the Akashas paid millions to Kenyan lawyers, judges and junior officers to protect their drug smuggling operations. Top on the list of judges the Akashas paid is Judge Chacha Mwita and Judge Judy Chepwony.
Lawyer Ahmednasir reads a lot of malice in the DEA’s findings. He says that some of the judges being mentioned in the ongoing saga never served in Mombasa or Malindi where the Akasha brother’s case was apparently heard.
The Grand Mulla, as he is also known, has told the Chief Justice and the Judicial Service Commission to address the issue and defend the mentioned judges.
“A lot of vile malice against some judges on the Akasha saga…some of the judges maliciously maligned HAVE NEVER HEARD AN AKASHA CASE AND NEVER SERVED IN MOMBASA OR MALINDI…Please spare the world this propaganda…the CJ and JSC should address this and defend the judges,’ said Ahmednasir

The Akasha brothers have pleaded guilty to six charges in a New York Court including corruption to defeat extradition, drug trafficking and conspiracy to use guns to smuggle drugs.
The American government became interested in the Akasha brothers after they were involved in smuggling heroin and methamphetamines into the US. The US Drug Enforcement Agency then begun covert operations to infiltrate the Akashas business and gather conclusive evidence to prosecute them. This operation led them to Mombasa where they found out the true scale of the Akasha drug network.
The Akasha brothers were first arrested in Mombasa in March 2014 for drug smuggling and illegal game trophy exportation. However, in a familiar pattern with Kenyan court trials, crucial evidence in the case went missing or was dismissed by the judge allowing the two criminals to walk free.
The Akashas had met a Colombian drug dealer who was importing poppy (Heroin) from Afghanistan into the US and they would be his partners importing the drugs into Africa through Kenya and South Africa where they had a contact identified as Mr. Armstrong. The operation involved bribery and pay offs to border agencies to allow the drugs in and on the side illegal trophies from poaching were smuggled out of East Africa.
