NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 5 — Police in Nairobi have arrested 10 Ethiopian nationals suspected to be victims of a human trafficking network after they were found without valid travel documents.
In a statement, the National Police Service (NPS) said officers from Lucky Summer Police Station acted swiftly to disrupt what they described as a suspected human trafficking attempt along the Korogocho–Lucky Summer Road.
