Narok County: Police in Narok are holding 50 people of Somali origin arrested over the weekend at Ololunga area.

The police said the aliens were arrested after they were found without any identification documents.

Narok South OCPD Isaac Meme said the arrested could not give satisfactory answers on what they were doing in the country.

“These suspects are being interrogated by CID officers and the Anti-Poaching Unit. We have given them time to bring their identification documents but it seems they have none,” said Meme.

He said the operation conducted by regular police, CID personnel, KWS officers and Anti-Poaching Unit stationed at Mara was prompted by the increased insecurity in the district and poaching in Mara.

Meme said intelligence reports have linked the suspects to increased poaching at the Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
