On January 10, 2022, a major crackdown on human trafficking in Kenya led to the arrest of 91 Ethiopian nationals in Kitengela, Kajiado County.
According to the police, the suspects were being held temporarily at a house in the Milimani area of Kitengela, having been smuggled into the country from neighboring countries.
Of the 91 arrested, 44 were juveniles who were among those being held onboard a trailer.
"A scrupulous crackdown on illegal immigrants believed to have been smuggled into the country from neighboring countries has seen the arrest of 91 Ethiopian nationals," said the DCI in a statement.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is now probing further into the case to paralyze probable human trafficking activities and apprehend the perpetrators.
The suspects have been booked in various police stations for interrogation and other legal procedures.
