91 Ethiopians arrested for being in the country illegally in Kitengela
Detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) yesterday evening nabbed 91 Ehiopian nationals at a house within Milimani area of Kitengela, Kajiado County.
This follows a crackdown on illegal immigrants believed to have been smuggled into the country from neighbouring countries.
Preliminary investigations by police revealed that the 91, of whom 44 are juveniles, were ferried to the location onboard a trailer, and were being held temporarily as the smugglers sought means to sneak them to another country.
“Detectives are probing the case amid an influx of immigrants, with the aim of arresting the perpetrators,” stated DCI.
Meanwhile, the suspects have been booked in various police stations for interrogation and other legal procedures.
