Tuesday, August 11, 2026 - Detectives from the Operations Support Unit (OSU) have arrested six suspects and rescued three Indian nationals who had been reported missing after arriving in Kenya on August 5, 2026.
The three were traced to a two-bedroom house in Ruiru’s Fort
Jesus area, Kiambu County, following intelligence-led investigations into a
suspected human trafficking case.
Preliminary investigations established that after being
cleared at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), the trio left the
airport in a taxi arranged by their receiver, who was waiting for them in
Ruiru.
They were subsequently taken to the house, where they were held
incommunicado.
Those arrested are Avtar Singh, an Indian national; Ali
Khashif and Syed Shujaat Hussein, both Pakistani nationals; and Stephen Karomo
and Damaris Katulu Daudi, both Kenyans.
A Kenyan minor, who was allegedly working as a house help,
was also found at the premises.
During preliminary interrogation, the suspects reportedly
claimed they were assisting the three Indian nationals to travel to Italy via
Ethiopia.
However, detectives are continuing with investigations to
establish the activities of the six suspects, identify their accomplices and
determine their possible links to a suspected human trafficking network.
The suspects are being processed for arraignment as investigations continue.
