He said every one of those captured were men with no distinguishing proof documentation and authoritative reports allowing them to be in the country.

They were viewed as in the nation unlawfully.

"They rested on sleeping pads spread on the floor with utensils dissipated everywhere. The men cooked alone under unhygienic conditions presenting themselves to loads of wellbeing chances," the source aware of the activities yet not permitted to address the press told this journalist.

Njagi said they associated the captured men were conductors with illegal exploitation.

"We are exploring to check whether we can get to the individual behind the suspects' being in the country. We speculate it's a conductor of illegal exploitation," Njagi said.
