Thirty-three Nigerians arrested by Kenya anti-narcotic officers on suspicion of entering the country illegally are being held at various police cells in the country despite a court ordering their immediate and unconditional release, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.
“When they arrived, they declared they were students at the universities, but our investigations have shown they are in other illegal businesses,” Mr Kimani told Standard Digital. A representative of the students’ union of United States International University , one of the two private universities in the area, said 12 of those arrested are genuine students. It said one of the suspects is a student of USIU.
Owen Vincent, a lawyer representing some of the arrested students, told PREMIUM TIMES that he was going to file a contempt of court case against the police for refusing to release the suspects. The injunction dated April 12 was signed by the deputy registrar of Constitutional and Human Rights Division of Milimani High Court.
