Police have arrested 40 Ethiopians in a house in Kayole Thursday morning for being in the country illegally.

According to Njiru sub-county commander Patrick Mwamba, police received a tip-off from the public.

Residents informed police that about the men who were hiding in a house in Maana area.

The men could not express themselves in English or Kiswahili but told police by help of a translator that they were going to South Africa. 

They said they arrived in the country from Ethiopia on Monday after paying an agent who was organising the trip.
