Detectives based at Moyale Police Station have apprehended 33-year-old Festus Arasa Omwamba, a man who has been on the police radar for his involvement in human trafficking.
Festus is believed to be a key player in a more extensive human trafficking syndicate that exploits vulnerable individuals by promising them legitimate employment opportunities in European countries.
However, upon arrival, these unsuspecting victims find themselves trapped in illegal and perilous jobs, stripping them of their dignity and safety.
Currently, Festus is in police custody, undergoing processing in preparation for his impending arraignment.
This arrest underscores the Directorate of Criminal Investigations’ commitment to relentlessly pursue human traffickers and dismantle criminal networks that prey on vulnerable victims under the guise of legitimate opportunities.
Through sustained intelligence-led operations and close multi-agency collaboration, the DCI remains resolute in bringing perpetrators to justice and shielding unsuspecting victims from exploitation.
