A Nigerian national, Okwudili Cletus Onuh, was convicted and sentenced after pleading guilty to multiple counts of drug trafficking.
This was in a high-profile narcotics case heard at the Kahawa Law Courts, Nairobi.
The change of plea followed the presentation of overwhelming evidence by the prosecution during the hearing before Senior Principal Magistrate Richard Koech, leading the accused to take responsibility for the charges against him.
Onuh was fined Sh46,500,000 for counts 1, 3, and 4, with a default sentence of 20 years’ imprisonment on each count.
The sentences read out on September 23, 2025 are to run concurrently, taking into account the three years he has already spent in remand.
The sentence was issued after the prosecution and defence made serious submissions during the sentensing hearing.
The case against the second accused, Hamid Annet Njoki Kaur, is scheduled to proceed to hearing on September 29, 2025.
