Six Iranian nationals accused of trafficking narcotic drugs worth Ksh.8 billion were arraigned at the Shanzu Law Courts on Monday, following one of Kenya\u2019s largest maritime drug seizures in recent years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspects,Jasem Darzadeh Nia, Nadeem Jadgal, Imran Baloch, Hassan Baloch, Rahim Baksh, and Imtiyaz Daryayi were arrested on October 24, 2025, during a coordinated multi-agency operation at Kilindini Port.Authorities uncovered 769 packages of crystalline substances suspected to be synthetic methamphetamine, though conflicting reports remain about the exact weight of the haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation was triggered by intelligence from the Kenya Navy, which had flagged a suspicious \u201cdark vessel\u201d navigating the Indian Ocean without proper identification. The vessel was tracked 630 kilometers east of Mombasa before being intercepted and escorted to port,where the cargo tested positive for narcotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the court proceedings, the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) requested additional time to verify the credentials of the court interpreter, seeking an independent translator to ensure fair and accurate communication.The suspects will remain in custody at the Port Police Station pending further instructions on Tuesday, October 28, as investigations continue into what could be a major international drug trafficking network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
