Detectives from the Operations Support Unit (OSU) have arrested six suspects and rescued three Indian nationals who were allegedly held captive in Ruiru, Kiambu County, in a suspected human trafficking case.
The three Indian nationals reportedly arrived in Kenya on August 5, 2026, and were cleared at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport before leaving in a taxi allegedly arranged by their receiver.
According to preliminary investigations, they were taken to a two-bedroom house in Fort Jesus area, Ruiru, where they were allegedly held incommunicado.
The suspects were traced and arrested following intelligence-led investigations after the three foreigners were reported missing.
Those arrested include Indian national Avtar Singh; Pakistani nationals Ali Khashif and Syed Shujaat Hussein; and Kenyans Stephen Karomo and Damaris Katulu Daudi.
A Kenyan minor, who was allegedly working as a house help at the residence, was also found at the premises.
During preliminary interrogation, the suspects claimed they were helping the three Indian nationals travel to Italy through Ethiopia.
Detectives are continuing investigations to establish the suspects’ activities, identify other accomplices and determine possible links to a wider human trafficking network. The six are being processed for arraignment.
