This is however, not the first time the controversial business woman has been arrested in connection with drug trafficking.

A few years before that, Wanjala and Akinyi were detained in India after authorities found them with undeclared Sh7.59 million.
New Delhi’s revenue intelligence department and the narcotics bureau were investigating if the money was to be spent on drugs. The two were released following intervention by Kenyan authorities.
Joyce Akinyi came to the limelight after a fight between her and her Nigerian husband and businessman Anthony Chinedu over property.
Chinedu was later deported over drug trafficking and possession in June 2013
