    The Director of Public Prosecutions applied to conduct an age assessment and social inquiry report for the female suspect, who was arrested alongside Amir Latif for allegedly trafficking 109.17 grams of heroin valued at Sh327,510.

    The prosecution said this is a firm action in the narcotics case involving the young female TikToker and her co-accused, underscoring strong commitment to combating drug trafficking along the Coast region.

    Appearing today before Resident Magistrate Green Odera in Mombasa, Prosecution successfully sought an age assessment and social inquiry report for the girl.

    The court directed the Nyali Sub-County Children’s Officer to prepare a social inquiry report to establish whether the suspect is a minor.

    The two suspects are set to face charges under Section 4(a)(ii) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act No. 4 of 1994, as amended in 2022.

    They are accused of jointly trafficking heroin in Maweni area, Nyali Sub-County, on February 2, 2026.

    Principal Prosecution Counsel Purity Musembi opposed their release on bond, citing the gravity of narcotics offences and the need to safeguard the integrity of investigations.

    The court directed that a formal affidavit in opposition to bond be filed.

    Pending the age assessment, the court ordered Latif remanded at Central Police Station, while the female suspect was committed to Likoni Children’s Remand Home.

    The matter will be mentioned on February 18, 2026.

    The girl was filmed in a video that has circulated online flaunting money at undisclosed place. This was days after her arrest in Nyali.
