Police in Kitengela, Kajiado County have arrested 58 aliens found hiding at a house in the town.
At least two suspects are in custody.
The operation Wednesday was a joint coordination between regular police and by officers from the Transnational Organized Crime Unit.
The aliens were being held in a house near the House of Deliverance Center in Kitengela.
The discovery of Ethiopians follows a tip-off from concerned members of the public, who reported seeing a group of Ethiopians being confined in a maisonette in the said area.
Acting on this intelligence, officers swiftly responded and found the victims who appeared weak, malnourished, and without identification documents in the company of two Kenyan suspects, Daniel Nduati Kingoo and Peter Maina Kimemia in the said house.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that the victims had been brought to the house three days earlier.
They were said to be awaiting transportation to South Africa.
Out of the rescued individuals, 28 were escorted to Kitengela Police Station, while the remaining 30 were taken to Isinya Police Station, a report by the detectives said.
The two Kenyan suspects were escorted to Muthaiga Police Station.
Meanwhile, a Honda motorcycle recovered at the compound is being held at Kitengela Police Station as exhibit.
