On Thursday, detectives raided the county again and this time arrested human traffickers with 25 Burundian Girls.
The suspects namely Mercy Kaaia, Lydia Wairimu and Susan Nyambura Nganga were arrested by detectives from the Transnational Organized Crime unit as they attempted to smuggle 25 Burundians to Asia.
