Friday, September 4, 2026 - A joint team of officers drawn from the Kenya Police Service (KPS), Administration Police Service (APS) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has arrested a suspected child trafficker at Korompoi Trading Centre in Isinya Sub-County.
The suspect, identified as Enock Peterson Mwangi alias
Mwamburi, was arrested following investigations into his alleged involvement in
child trafficking.
At the time of his arrest, four minors aged between one and
seventeen years were rescued from a bedsitter where the suspect was reportedly
residing.
Preliminary investigations have established that the suspect
had extended his activities to several areas, including Mashuru in Kajiado
County and Nakuru County, among other places.
Detectives are pursuing further leads to establish the full
extent of his alleged activities and determine whether other children may have
fallen victim to the suspected criminal network.
The circumstances under which the minors were found have
also raised concerns that they may have been subjected to other forms of abuse.
The children have since been taken to hospital for medical
assessment and thereafter placed in safe custody as relevant agencies undertake
the necessary interventions and investigations.
The suspect is currently being processed pending arraignment
in court, where he is expected to face appropriate charges.
Investigations into the suspected trafficking network remain
ongoing.
