The Woman Who Took Over Kenya's Drug Empire

The Woman Who Inherited a Drug Empire tells the shocking true story of Joyce Akinyi, a woman who rose from poverty in western Kenya to become one of the most feared figures in Nairobi's drug underworld. After meeting a Nigerian drug trafficker, Joyce entered the narcotics trade and quickly became a trusted partner in an expanding criminal network. When her husband was eventually deported from Kenya, she inherited the operation and built a powerful drug empire of her own. With connections to politicians, international traffickers, and wealthy business associates, she appeared untouchable for years. But every criminal empire eventually falls. This Kenyan true crime documentary explores the rise and fall of Joyce Akinyi, her links to international drug trafficking, the battle for control of a multimillion-shilling empire, her relationship with powerful political figures, and the investigation that ultimately led to her conviction. From Nairobi to India, from luxury and power to a 25-year prison sentence, this is one of Kenya's most remarkable crime stories.
