At around 4pm on Tuesday, residents of an apartment in Ruaka received distress calls from kin in the houses. The message was clear. There was a police operation at the property and no one seemed to know what it was all about.
After about four hours, skimpily dressed girls, most of them underage were led to the elevator, down the seven floors and into police vehicles. For close to a year, the house was being used as a brothel by the proprietors.
