Why Akasha drugs suspect will follow compensation suit

As Mr Muhammad Hafeez Asif, the man the United States of America accuses of supplying drugs to the Akasha brothers fights his extradition from the United Kingdom to America, his lawyers will keenly follow a case coming up in the Kenyan courts on April 25 this year.
The case involves a Serbian, Mr Stojanovic Milan, who was prosecuted for the March 28, 2002 murder of Kamaldin Akasha, a son of drug baron Ibrahim Akasha, who, a court heard, was killed after a family feud over a multi-million-shilling hashish haul. Mr Milan was acquitted of the charges alongside his co-accused, Mr Jackson Waweru and Mr Ahmed Abdalla, and the three have sued the state, seeking Sh1 billion in compensation for wrongful prosecution.
