They are part of more than 200 illegal aliens slated for deportation.

They attacked and injured a police officer who tried to escort them from the cells to a waiting lorry for screening at Karasni grounds.

Kasarani OCPD Augustine Nthumbi said the aliens also stole the officer’s mobile phone but it was recovered later after police had lobbed a teargas canister in the Wednesday drama.

“They refused to get out of the cells because they don’t want to be repatriated. We reinforced the team and took them to Kasarani for screening,” said Nthumbi.
