How Devani allegedly offloaded more oil than he brought and sold the Sh7.6 billion cargo without the authority of his financiers has always baffled investigators.

Summary
The United Kingdom has approved the extradition of Yagnesh Devani the businessman behind the Sh7.6 billion Triton petroleum scandal back to Kenya to face charges over the scam.
The British government last week notified Nairobi of readiness to facilitate the return of Mr Devani after what it said was a solution of a “legal matter” that prevented his deportation.
Julian Gibbs, the UK’s Head of Extradition said Kenya will now be free to follow through on the procedure and have their man face trial back in Nairobi.
