Kenyan authorities have rescued 70 foreign nationals, mostly from Ethiopia, who were reportedly being held by a suspected human trafficking network in Nairobi.
Police said the operation followed a tip-off, leading them to a house in the Ruai area where 66 Ethiopians and four Eritreans were found confined.
One Kenyan suspect was arrested in connection with the case.
Kenya serves as a major transit point for migrants from the Horn of Africa, many of whom travel each year seeking employment opportunities in South Africa, the Gulf region, or Europe.
Traffickers often use local networks to entice migrants with promises of well-paying jobs and safe passage.
In response, Kenyan police have increased efforts to combat human trafficking.
Earlier this year, authorities arrested Festus Omwamba, who allegedly recruited Kenyans with the promise of skilled work in Russia but instead sent them to fight in Ukraine.
Three Kenyan recruits reportedly confirmed his involvement, and Omwamba disappeared after families raised concerns about missing relatives.
Last month, the Kenyan government stated that over 1,000 Kenyans had been recruited to fight in Ukraine.
Of these, at least 89 are still on the front lines, 39 have been hospitalised, 28 are unaccounted for, and others have returned home. At least one has died.
