Police arrested 34 people Monday night in a crackdown on illegal immigrants in Nairobi’s South C Estate.
The operation is an extension of what has been going on in Eastleigh estate, to flush out terror suspects and armed criminals in the city.
Police say the operation will last for as long as they feel that there are still criminals.
According to Nairobi County Deputy Police Commandant, Moses Ombati, those who were arrested during the South C operation had no documents at all to support their being in the country.
“All of them were taken to Kasarani where the others who had been arrested in Eastleigh are being kept. They will all be vetted and we will deport those who ought to be deported of course after the court has dealt with them” Mr Ombati said.
