The recent jailing of a Mombasa woman for 40 years in addition to a Sh826 million fine for trafficking heroin and cocaine worth Sh279 million marked the end of the heirs of the Akasha drug empire.

Swaleh Yusuf, alias Candy Rain or Kandereni, and Fatuma Ahmed were widely known in drug trafficking circles as the Bonnie and Clyde of the trade.
