Recent disclosures have emerged concerning the detention of a lady in Ngara, accused of peddling cannabis within the Kariua shantytown. Teresia Wanjiru, affectionately referred to as “Mathe wa Ngara,” was seized on August 15th during a covert operation. Nonetheless, her offspring, Sheila Waithera, fervently championed her mother’s innocence, contending that the constabulary surreptitiously placed the illicit substance and currency upon her.

Waithera revealed that constables engaged her mother in a discourse regarding her endeavors and domicile. Subsequently, as they departed the shantytown, they took her into custody. She accentuated that the apprehension was driven by concealed agendas, given the disparity between their financial standing and the sum documented in the police dossier. Waithera inquired, “If they proclaim we possess such wealth, why am I bereft of education?”

Grace Mwihaki, the matriarch of Teresia Wanjiru and Waithera’s elder, corroborated the assertion, deeming it inconceivable for them to harbor such substantial assets amidst their penury. Law enforcement contends that Wanjiru ostensibly operates under the aegis of Nancy Indoveria Kigunzu, colloquially recognized as the genuine “Mathee wa Ngara,” the principal cannabis purveyor in Ngara. Kigunzu is reputed to have formidable affiliations spanning from Isebania in Busia to Moyale, the genesis of the prohibited commodity.

Notwithstanding the criminal indictments, Kigunzu’s past dominion has allegedly culminated in the suspension and reassignment of constables who endeavored to impede her ventures. The televisual narrative “Queen of the South” ascended to prominence as Kenyans jestingly equated Wanjiru’s predicament to the protagonist, Teresa Mendoza. The detention of Teresiah Wanjiru, in her mid-fifties, has ignited analogies on digital platforms, with the Kenyan populace drawing symmetries between her and the fictitious persona from the noir series.
