Following the controversial death of a Strathmore University student at Masshouse, a popular entertainment joint tucked within the grounds of Ngong Racecourse, the establishment issued a statement on Wednesday acknowledging the incident.
While refraining from disclosing details, the club confirmed that the incident occurred between the late hours of Friday, February 14, and the early hours of Saturday, February 15, 2025.
Even as the club attempts to contain the fallout, emerging details now point to a well-coordinated drug distribution network where illicit substances are allegedly trafficked and consumed by affluent patrons without interference, reportedly due to collusion between the club’s management and compromised law enforcement officers.
Emerging details now point to a well-coordinated drug distribution network operating within the club, where illicit substances are allegedly trafficked and consumed by affluent patrons without fear of interference, thanks to the collusion between the establishment’s management and compromised law enforcement officers.
The club also reportedly enjoys the protection of some of the most powerful figures in the country, with its owner said to be Miriam Saina, widely regarded as one of Kenya’s wealthiest women.
Miriam Saina is reportedly married to a well-connected Coastarian who has close ties to Abu Joho, the brother of Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho.
Leveraging these high-level connections, she is believed to have secured immunity for the establishment, allowing it to operate without interference despite mounting allegations of drug trafficking and illicit activities.
We are well informed that Masshouse is a highly exclusive establishment that has, over time, morphed into a covert drug den catering to Nairobi’s elite.
Unlike conventional nightclubs where alcohol dominates the scene, sources indicate that Masshouse thrives on the sale and consumption of premium narcotics, allegedly smuggled in and distributed with the full knowledge of those meant to enforce the law.
Patrons, primarily drawn from affluent backgrounds, are said to indulge in a wide range of high-end substances, including fentanyl, oxycodone, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine metabolite, meperidine, methadone, opiates, phencyclidine (PCP), propoxyphene, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and tramadol.
Some reportedly spend upwards of KSh 100,000 in a single weekend to access these illicit substances, which are allegedly supplied and consumed within the establishment with minimal fear of law enforcement intervention.
Lines are often long with eager patrons willing to wait hours just to gain entry.
Security at the entrance is said to be tight, but rather than screening for illicit substances, bouncers allegedly prioritize filtering out potential threats to the club’s operations, ensuring only trusted clientele and those willing to spend lavishly are allowed in.
Inside, the atmosphere is markedly different from typical nightlife venues, with sources describing a scene where alcohol takes a backseat to designer drugs openly traded and consumed in dimly lit sections.
Even as police investigate the recent incident at Masshouse, there is now growing pressure for the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to launch an urgent and thorough probe into the establishment’s operations.
