A group of Ethiopians was Monday, March 7 rescued by police from being trafficked.
The group was in a house in the Embakasi area, Nairobi when police found them.
They told police they were headed for the middle east where they had been promised jobs.
Two suspects behind the trafficking were missing.
Officials from Transnational Organized Crime Unit said they had been tipped off the men were there before they moved in to rescue them.
The aliens were Wednesday expected in court ahead of planned repatriation to their country.
This comes amid increased cases of discovery of Ethiopians being trafficked.
A group of Ethiopians who are in police custody pending their repatriation to their country staged a hunger strike prompting police protests last week.
The 21 aliens had been arrested on February 17, 2023, in Juja, Kiambu, and taken to court where a court ordered their repatriation.
Dozens of Ethiopians are arrested in the country as they try to use this route to other places like Tanzania, the Middle East and South Africa.
Police and immigration officials have decried increased cases of Ethiopian aliens nabbed in the country while in transit.
