Plot to free jailed Mombasa drug baron Swaleh Ahmed flops

Between November last year and January 2019, three title deeds worth Sh61million were stolen from a Malindi court.
In 2010, Mr Ahmed was jailed for 25 years for trafficking five kilogrammes of heroin.
In 2011 and 2013 he was also charged at the Mombasa Law Courts with trafficking drugs, but he won the cases.
Ahmed was first convicted and sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment in 1996 for trafficking in heroin and was sent to Shimo La Tewa Prison in Mombasa.
Mombasa drug baron Swaleh Yusuf Ahmed seems to be inventing new ways of getting out of prison each time he jailed.
In the many instances he has been arrested in connection to trafficking of drugs worth millions of shillings, Ahmed, alias Kandereni, has 'mysteriously' come out of prison.
