Detectives from the Transnational and Organized Crime unit have rescued 108 Ethiopian nationals suspected to be victims of human trafficking.

Acting on intelligence reports, the detectives based at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters traced the victims to a house in Kirigiti, Kiambu County on Friday.

After securing the area and gaining access, the distraught victims aged between 13 and 35 were found crowded in one room.
