Mathee wa Ngara’s Bail Application to be Heard Today

Posted on by Ozymandias

The bail application for businesswoman Nancy Kigunzu, who is also known as Mathee wa Ngara, will be heard today at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) court.

Kigunzu was charged on Monday with trafficking drugs worth Sh 18.3 million. She was charged alongside three others, including a minor. They all denied the charges.

The prosecution has opposed the bail application on the grounds that the accused persons are a flight risk. However, Kigunzu’s defense team will be arguing that there are no compelling grounds to deny her bail.

The hearing was scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM.

Mathe wa Ngara Demands Answers On Ksh13.4 Million Seized By Police

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Nancy Kigunzu, popularly known as Mathe wa Ngara, has demanded answers on the whereabouts of the Ksh13.4 million that was seized from her alleged drug den during a police raid last week.

Kigunzu, through her lawyers Danstan Omari and Cliff Ombeta, questioned why the money had been moved from the police station where it was supposed to be kept as an exhibit.

“The integrity of the proceedings in this matter are critical. Assets Recovery Agency is not a party to this case before you. Who has the custody of that exhibit?” the lawyers asked.

The prosecution responded by saying that they would provide documents to confirm the chain of custody of the money in due course.

The Ksh13.4 million was seized by police when they raided Kigunzu’s drug den in Ngara. However, last Friday, the High Court ordered that the money be deposited into the Assets and Recovery Agency’s (ARA) preservation account at the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB).

Kigunzu was arrested at the Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) shortly after she had filed a petition in court to stop her imminent arrest.

At the time of her arrest, the police also recovered 26 bags of Cannabis Sativa (Marijuana), four cartons of rolling materials, 173 pieces of suspected blended drug/bhang, and 42 cartons each containing 200 pieces of cigarettes

Kenyans have been captivated by the story of Teresia Wanjiru and Mathe wa Ngara, following a recent drug bust.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Kenya announced that a woman suspected to be behind drug deals in Ngara had been arrested.

Mathe wa Ngara, the alleged popular bhang seller in Ngara, was arrested in a police operation in Nairobi yesterday.

Mathe, who is said to operate around Kariya B in Nairobi County, disappeared when Teresia Wanjiru was arrested on Tuesday, August 15.

The DCI said in a tweet that they arrested Teresia alongside three minors after the Anti-Narcotics Unit and the Transnational Organized Crime Unit raided her place in the slums of Karuia within Ngara.

Teresia spoke to NTV on Sunday, August 20, describing the events leading to her arrest. She said that she was in her small hotel, as she calls it, when the police raided her place. She said that she was not aware of any drugs being sold in her hotel and that she was innocent of the charges against her.

The police have not yet released any information about Mathe wa Ngara’s arrest. However, the arrest of Teresia Wanjiru and the alleged drug bust in Ngara have sparked a lot of speculation and discussion in Kenya. Many people are wondering who Mathe wa Ngara is and what role she played in the drug trade.

The case is still under investigation and it is not yet clear what charges will be filed against Teresia Wanjiru or Mathe wa Ngara. However, the arrest of these two women has sent a strong message that the police are committed to cracking down on drug trafficking in Kenya.
