Police in Kenya have arrested three Nigerian nationals alleged to be in the country illegally and engaging in criminal activities, including cyber fraud.
The suspects were apprehended on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at their hideout in Mwihoko village, Ngurubani town, Mwea East sub-county, following a joint operation by police and immigration officers.
Kirinyaga County Criminal investigations Officer (CCIO) Justus Imana said the operation was launched after a tip-off from members of the public.
Officers recovered 21 mobile phones, 79 SIM cards, a Dell laptop, and 37 credit cards from different banks, seven different currencies, a white powdery substance and paraphernalia suspected to be used in witchcraft.
Imana said investigations revealed the suspects entered Kenya on different dates between 2021 and January 2025 and have since overstayed their visas.
“Their passports show they are in the country illegally. One arrived in 2021, another in 2023, and the third one in January 2025,” he said.
