Reports of foreigners flocking Nairobi's Eastlands Estates and drugging women and filming pornography for sale have caught the Kenya Films and Classifications Board CEO Ezekiel Mutua's eye.
The Nairobian reported that a host of foreigners mostly Nigerians, Congolese and a few Cameroon nationals have flocked Donholm, Buru Buru, Lavington, Kileleshwa and a number of Estates in Eastlands where they rent houses for a short while and exploit unsuspecting women.
The criminals are found to have moved into the city leafy residential areas and investigators told the paper of a trick of drugging women and recording live pornographic content that they later share on subscriber and member-only sites.
Dr Mutua has termed the illegal venture in the expose as the main reason why genuine film makers must obtain film licenses from KFCB before filming anything that is meant for public distribution.
Mutua has held that the ratification stands as the only way the country can protect the integrity of the film industry and keep a record of bona-fide film producers and agents.
"We are not going to allow such criminal activities in Kenya in the name of freedom of expression. These are the crooks who are frustrating our efforts to streamline the industry by ensuring that filming activities are licensed in line with the law. We shall not relent. Those who don't take advantage of the grace period given by the Board will have themselves to blame when the police begin the crackdown," warned Mutua in a statement sent out through his social media pages.
A Metro Links based detective told the publication that in one of their recent raid at a house in Kileleshwa, they found a strange drug identified as Katamine which the criminals used to drug young women.
“We have been following them from Buruburu. We traced them to a house in Kileleshwa where we rescued a young woman who had been drugged and readied for action,” revealed the investigator.
"It is after winning their confidence that they (women) are invited to the house where they are drugged and made to take part in live porn sessions. In some cases, more than 10 men have sex with one woman,” he added, as quoted by the Nairobian.
Most of the women approached by the foreigners are taken in to rare treats that are distant from any experiences offered peculiarly by Kenyan men to innocently trust the wealthy appearing men who drag them before filming them for 'business'.
