The planned destruction of Sh8.2 billion worth of methamphetamine, seized from the Iranian vessel MV Mashallah, has been delayed despite a court order for its immediate disposal.

• Over 1,036 kilograms of methamphetamine remain in storage.
• The Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) applied for an extension, citing the need for extensive planning and coordination with multiple State agencies.
• The court had ordered the destruction due to concerns over theft, corruption, and security breaches, highlighting the significant risk posed by the large consignment.
