The Akasha brothers, known for their alleged links to the Mexican and Colombian cartels, have been making headlines after being extradited to the United States to face drug trafficking charges.
According to reports, the brothers are said to have significant wealth, with some believing they have so much money that they cannot account for it. Their lavish lifestyle has been the subject of much attention, particularly when they visit clubs in Westlands, where they allegedly buy out the entire bar and ask the doors to be closed.
When the Akasha brothers enter a club, patrons are reportedly allowed to drink as much as they want on their tab, provided they do not leave until all the alcohol is depleted. This has led to instances of alcohol poisoning, according to a nurse at a nearby hospital.
The brothers have also been known to give out large sums of cash to patrons at the club entrance, sometimes amounting to hundreds of thousands or even millions of shillings. On one occasion, a woman claimed that one of the brothers opened the boot of his Mercedes S-class, revealing millions of dollars in cash.
Their parties often feature groupies and bodyguards armed with machine guns, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of an action movie. Those in their entourage can expect surprises, including impromptu trips to destinations like Amsterdam and Mauritius.
The Akasha family's involvement in the drug trade has been well-documented, with their father, Ibrahim Akasha, being shot and killed in Amsterdam in 2000. His death was believed to be linked to a dispute with Yugoslav barons over a consignment of heroin worth Sh200 million.
