News Just in: 16 Children Rescued From A Trafficking Ring In Kayole: Authorities in Nairobi are investigating a suspected child trafficking ring after 16 children were rescued from a rented house in Kayole’s Soweto area on Sunday.
The rescue operation was initiated after a report was filed by a children protection officer from Embakasi Central Constituency at the Soweto Police Station, who informed authorities of the presence of children in a rented house.
The police report read, “Officers from Soweto led by orderly officer Kayole, Duty officer Soweto and team proceeded to the scene and gained access to the said house and found 16 children in two roomed rental houses.”

The rescued children, aged between 2 and 16 years old, were temporarily relocated to a Children’s Home in Nyando.
Investigations into the matter have kicked off as authorities work to unfold the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensure the safety and well-being of the children involved.
