91 illegal immigrants of Ethiopian origin aged between 18 and 25 years, escaped from a privately owned mansion at Tumaini Court, Milimani Estate, off old Namanga Road in Kitengela, on Sunday evening. The foreigners who are said to have broken the main gate at around 4 pm on Sunday, were caught up by police and taken to Kitengela police station and Milimani police post for processing. Confirming the incident, Isinya Sub-county Police commander, Ancent Kaloki, said the illegal immigrants will be arraigned in court on Monday. 

The aliens who have been in the house since November 2021, are believed to have been transported in a trailer, while more were brought in a container on Saturday, the 08th of January 2022.  Mr. Kaloki also noted that the aliens complained of poor living conditions.  Out of the 91, 44 are teenagers while seven others arrested at Kasuitu slum in Athi River, Machakos County on Sunday, are believed to be part of the same group. 

The house belongs to a Kenyan but had been rented out to Tanzanians, who are suspected to have trafficked the aliens, as they sought to sneak them into another country. Well-wishers offered them snacks before they were taken to Athi River police station.
