Sharon, a Kenyan woman who was based in China, recruiting drug mules in Kenya to take drugs to Hong Kong. Now based in Nigeria.
Real name: Sharon Mokanya Adwanba.
Real
photo, taken in Hong Kong on March 16, 2016. I say real photo, because Sharon
often uses disguises ... wigs etc:
For the sake of her dear family
in Kenya whom I have met, I hope Sharon will as soon as possible break free from
the Nigerian Drug Lords who are using her. Maybe she can go to another country
in Africa ...or somewhere else ....with a new name and new passport ...and
re-start her life.
Sharon is wanted by the authorities in Kenya. That's why she lives in China/Nigeria. Why don't the HK authorities arrest her? Maybe because she uses a number of different passports (Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda ...) with different names. More likely: she is an informer of Customs
In 2016 she was engaged, through a friend in Kenya, in recruiting 10 (ten!) more women (...always women ...easier to fool than men ...more desperate to get money for families...and in this case simple village women...) to bring drugs to HK. Sharon sent money to Kenya to pay for passports for the women. They might or might not have known they were carrying drugs. They might be told they were bringing diamonds or gold or money, or something else in which drugs are hidden, without their knowing.
Thanks to the work of people who supports this website's anti-drug campaign, and thanks to this very story which was widely circulated in HK, China and Kenya, the trip to HK of the 10 women was cancelled. Thank you Lord! If they had come, most if not all would have been arrested at HK airport and now be starting long prison sentences in HK.
But: a most
distressing update - Sharon talked one of the ten women to go to Malaysia, and
the poor woman is facing the
death penalty ... Here.
(Update: on June 13 in Kuala Lumpur I visited Faith in her prison. She is in
good spirits. Due to go to trial later this year. She has excellent lawyers.
Kenyan High Commission regularly visiting her. And there's hope that the Malaysian government will abolish the death penalty - please God!)
Update 2023: Sentence has been commuted ... Faith due to
be released 2025. THANK YOU JESUS!
Sharon worked with Esther, a Kenyan asylum seeker who was in HK.
Sharon is responsible for many inmates being in prison in HK.
Sharon was using a friend, Lucy, to recruit mules in Kenya, but Lucy in 2017 run away to India because some of her recruits were arrested in HK. So Sharon is now using another friend, Donna. Sometimes also using another woman named Phoebe. And yet another one named Nancy. "Nancy" may be "Phoebe"?
Sharon has been sending messages to mules arrested in HK, warning them not to give information to HK authorities. Sometimes threatening to harm their families if they talk to HK authorities.
In HK Sharon was a girlfriend of Frank "Migwazi" (spelling?), Nonso who runs a bar on the 4/F of Mirador Mansion in Tsim Sha Tsui (the only African bar on that floor). He also has a 7-11 franchise somewhere in HK.... and he has a guest house at Chung King Mansion (C-6). He is a friend of Network and "R.J." His HK ID card uses the name "Christian". He has a Chinese wife. He is responsible for many people going to prison in HK. He is the No. 1 Nigerian Drug Lord in HK.
Sharon's Nigerian link reminds us that nearly all the drug mules coming these days to HK - from Africa, from South America, from Malaysia, from the Philippines, from Indonesia, from Dubai and even from the Mainland - have been recruited/arranged/coerced/tricked by Nigerian Drug Gangs who are obviously all connected.
Sharon's mules are bringing cocaine, cocaine intended for the market in China where the street price is much higher than in HK.
Why don't HK authorities arrest her? Because she has connections with HK Customs and police. See "The story of Esther". Some years ago Sharon was arrested in HK, but then released by a lower court.
One of Sharon's drug mules, Floviance Razan Owino, who was transporting drugs in China was arrested a few years ago and was facing the death penalty. See this BBC report The Kenyan woman on Chinese death row (and Google: "Kenyan woman China death penalty" for updates which indicate the sentence will hopefully be commuted)
Dear
God, please let someone somewhere do something to stop Sharon. May Sharon
herself have a change of heart. May she get out of the drug business. May she do
something good to make up for all the harm she has done.
