At least seven Nigerians have been deported from Kenya on allegations of drug trafficking and possession. Police and immigration authorities disclosed that these deportations took place between March 18 and 21 during an operation conducted in residential areas of Nairobi.
The individuals were not only accused of involvement in drug-related offenses but also of residing illegally in the country. They were also accused of participating in cybercrimes and money laundering activities.
These deportations came as part of a broader crackdown targeting suspects involved in drug trafficking and possession.
Officials revealed that multi-agency teams are actively pursuing additional suspects implicated in these illicit activities.
Mohamed Amin, the Director of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, affirmed that their operations are making significant headway and cautioned that no one involved will be exempt from legal action.
“We have achieved notable progress in our ongoing nationwide crackdown against illicit alcohol, narcotic drugs, and psychotropic substances. Our efforts will continue unabated,” Amin stated.
“The teams have facilitated the deportation and expulsion of foreign nationals engaged in drug trafficking, money laundering, and cybercrime,” Amin added.
