The government has deported foreigners suspected to be involved in criminal activities in the country.
Through the Ministry of Immigration, government agencies last week processed the deportation and removal of five foreign nationals involved in drug trafficking and cyber-related crimes.
This exercise which was conducted at Nyayo House established that some foreigners had become a nuisance to the public and law enforcement agencies as some had illegally sneaked back into the country even after were last year declared persona non grata and deported.
The investigations further revealed that some of the suspects did not have valid immigration status in the country while others had been involved in credit card fraud and the sale of drugs within Nairobi and its environs.
During the raid which saw Olayiwola Saheed Tunde, Nwosu Prince Chukwuebuka, Ajibade Adewale, Nwanonaku Alexander Odirachukwumma and Olayiwola Babatunde Akintomwa arrested some were found in possession of forged documents, fake passports and fake dollars.
The five were declared as prohibited immigrants before they were deported to Nigeria on March 18 this year by the Directorate of Immigration Services.
The West Africans involved in drug trafficking after being deported to Nigeria, end up re-locating to Tanzania and coordinate drug shipments into Kenya through their Kenyan counterparts.
