More than 20 people have been rescued in Kenya from a suspected human trafficking ring that lured them with job offers in Russia but intended to send them to fight in Ukraine, police said.
It follows an intelligence-led raid on a residential apartment on the outskirts of the capital, Nairobi, where officers seized recruitment materials, travel documents, and job offer letters.
One suspect, accused of coordinating the victims' travel to Russia in September and October, has been arrested.
He was taken to court, which allowed him to be detained for 10 days while the police complete their investigations.
There have been growing concerns over the rising number of Kenyans being trafficked abroad under false job promises.
A young Kenyan athlete was recently captured in Ukraine, saying he was tricked into joining the Russian army.
Authorities said Wednesday's arrest followed a coordinated multi-agency security operation targeting the criminal network, which has been extorting huge sums from desperate Kenyan job seekers.
A total of 22 Kenyans were found in an apartment in Athi River area, "awaiting processing to Russia".
Police said the "mysterious trafficking syndicate" was luring Kenyans with job offers in Moscow, only to send them to fight for the Russian military in Ukraine.
Detectives said the victims revealed they had signed contracts with an unnamed overseas employment agency, committing to pay up to $18,000 (£13,000) for visas, travel, accommodation, and other logistics.

FR Putinistas are in meltdown... lol.
“Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like “a paper tiger.”

“More than 20 people”
Game Changer!
“Paper Tiger” Putin has 3 more days left to conquer Donetsk…
Biden Puffer
If Russia is a paper tiger then Europe should be able to handle them without our help. Withdraw from NATO and bring our troops home Mr. President.
Your Kamala lost...lol
Are your Putin panties in a twist? Kamala lost...get over it.
Kenyans eh? Can we send Obama to help??
Lol!

Name them, Biden-Boy. And post a link or two of them expressing their support for Putin.
Nice try Putin puffer. Easily exposed. LOL
Post the links, Biden-Boy. Find one link where I have ever supported Russia or Putin.
It shouldn’t be difficult. Go on, post that link.
If you’re going to run your little Eastern European mouth at decent conservative Americans and make false accusations, you need to back it up.
Oh, and you should donate to the FReepathon. If you’re going to invade an American board to spread your hate, the least you could do is donate to the site, Boryslav.
FO squirrel. It’s always fun to expose Putin worshipping trash. Makes my day.
Then do it, Boryslav. Expose these people. All it takes is a link. Go on, it’s not difficult. Post the link, Boryslav.
You wouldn’t be *lying,* would you? You Eastern European paid shills don’t *lie,* do you? No? Then let’s see that link, Boryslav.
Oh, and I expect to see your name on the FR donation board. Get with it, Boryslav.
