From exotic vacations to high-end shopping sprees - Flashy Nyali TikTok couple arrested over drug trade and human trafficking lived fast life funded by crime (VIDEO)
Thursday, February 5, 2026 - A young Nyali couple who built a flashy reputation on TikTok is now behind bars after detectives arrested them over drug trafficking and human smuggling. Amir Laft and his wife, Ruhman Abubakar, were apprehended following a raid by officers from the Anti-Narcotics Unit at their residence in Nyali, Mombasa County. During the operation, detectives reportedly recovered 250 grammes of heroin, believed to have been packaged and ready for distribution. However, the narcotics discovery was only the beginning. Preliminary investigations suggest that the couple could be linked to a wider criminal network involved in both drug trafficking and human trafficking, with operations spanning Mombasa, Malindi and Nairobi. Ironically, the two had built a strong presence on TikTok, where they regularly showcased a lifestyle that many young people admired. Their posts featured exotic vacations, shopping sprees in high-end malls, and expensive dates, painting the picture of a young couple living large and enjoying life to the fullest. To their followers, they appeared to be “living the dream.” But authorities now believe the flashy lifestyle may have been bankrolled by proceeds from illegal activities, including narcotics sales and the trafficking of vulnerable individuals. The suspects are expected to be arraigned as investigations continue. Below is a video>>> showing how the couple lived a glamorous lifestyle.

ODM firebrand GAUCHO defends MAMA IDA ODINGA, Condemns viral AI birthday PHOTOs
Thursday, February 05, 2026 - ODM mobilizer, Calvince Okoth, popularly known as Gaucho, has come out strongly to defend Mama Ida Odinga after manipulated birthday photos of the two went viral online.Gaucho, who recently celebrated his birthday with the Odinga matriarch, slammed those circulating doctored images of him sharing a cake with Mama Ida, accusing them of attempting to tarnish her reputation for clout.In a statement on Thursday, February 5th, Gaucho described Mama Ida as a highly respected leader who should not be dragged into cheap online theatrics.“Dr. Mama Ida Odinga is a respectable leader in the fabric of our society and diplomatic spheres.”“I can only compare her to the late Winnie Mandela,” he said.He warned perpetrators of the doctored content that they risk facing legal action. “Any attempts to besmirch, soil and damage Mama’s name, image and reputation for content creation, directly or through graphics, is uncalled for.”“If the perpetrators find themselves before the court to explain and pay for reputational damages, then they should not blame me,” Gaucho declared.The activist further revealed that Mama Ida has always been like a parent to him, recalling how Rosemary Odinga introduced him to the family in 2013.Since then, he said, both Raila Odinga and Mama Ida have treated him as their son.The incident highlights the growing menace of AI-manipulated images targeting public figures.Nairobi Woman Representative, Esther Passaris, recently raised similar concerns after her photo with Mumias East MP, Peter Salasya, was digitally altered, urging Government intervention before the trend spirals further.

Pastor KANYARI's cryptic post after MOSIRIA distanced himself from MARION NAIPEI sparks speculation - "Paka ya msituni ni ya msituni"
Thursday, February 05, 2026 - Salvation Healing Ministry’s Prophet Victor Kanyari and Geoffrey Mosiria have ignited fresh speculation online after sharing cryptic social media posts that left netizens guessing.Mosiria was the first to speak out, announcing that he was stepping back from a matter he had previously intervened in.In his February 5th, 2026 post, he likened his withdrawal to Pontius Pilate washing his hands.“Jameni mimi niliosha mikono zangu kitambo kama Pontius Pilate!” he wrote, before directing all inquiries to Prophet Kanyari.“Maswali zote na tags should now be directed to Prophet Kanyari. He’s in charge. Acha nimeze Brufen nilale ama vipi majamaa?”Mosiria was referring to Marion Naipei, the lady he had defended after her embarrassing videos went viral online.He directed any questions about her to Kanyari.Marion has been working at Kanyari’s church after her controversial videos went viral, claiming that she had turned over a new leaf and was now born again.But from Kanyari’s cryptic post, it seems she may have gone back to her old ways.Hours later, Kanyari deepened the mystery with his own analogy, comparing the situation to a wild cat that cannot be domesticated.“Paka ya msituni ni ya msituni rudi msituni nimechoka…” he wrote, loosely translating to: “A wild cat belongs to the wild; go back to the wild. I am tired.”Mosiria quickly responded, asking, “Kwani imerudi msituni tena!” (Has the cat gone back to the wild again!), fueling speculation among netizens. The Kenyan DAILY POST

I Prefer men without parents - Kenyan TV host, LAURA MBATHA, opens up why she prefers dating orphans!
Thursday, February 04, 2026 - Kenyan TV host, Laura Mbatha, has stirred conversation online after candidly revealing her unusual dating preference: she prefers men without parents.Speaking during a lively YouTube chat with fellow media personality, Kwambox, on February 4th, 2026, Mbatha didn’t hesitate when asked about her ideal partner.“I prefer my men without parents,” she said.When Kwambox probed further with, “Do you like orphans?”She responded, “Yeah, that is my ideal man. Yeah. That is my ideal,”Her reasoning, she explained, is tied to age and independence.According to Mbatha, men who still have parents should move out once they hit their late twenties.“Like, if you have to have parents, then move out. Like maybe 28, 30. When you are 30 hapo, it is about time,” she emphasized.The conversation quickly shifted to the broader issue of men living at home well into adulthood.Kwambox argued that overstaying in the family house can create tension.“I feel like there is an age you become a danger to your parents,” she said, citing extreme cases where conflicts have escalated tragically.She also highlighted the double standards society places on men and women.“For babes, I think you can live in your parents’ house for eternity,” Kwambox noted, adding that cultural roles have shifted and community values are being forgotten.Kwambox further stressed that women are rarely raised to settle with men who still live with their mothers.While acknowledging economic challenges, she insisted that independence is key. “Yangu ni 25. I have a rule,” she shared, explaining that moving out helps men truly experience manhood.The candid exchange has sparked debate across social media, with fans weighing in on whether Mbatha’s preference is bold honesty or a controversial take on modern relationships.
