After more than 10 years in the courts, wanted tycoon Yagnesh Devani has lost his battle his to block extradition to Kenya. This is after the Court of Appeal in London dismissed his last attempt to block deportation on human rights grounds. Devani, the mastermind of the Sh7.6 billion Triton petroleum scandal, is wanted in Kenya to face fraud and corruption charges. In his appeal, Devani tried to use a similar claim by 'miracle babies' televangelist Gilbert Deya that Kenyan prisons are deathtraps. Devani tried to dismiss the assurance by the Kenyan government that his rights would not be violated in Kenyan prisons.
