NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 6 — A multi-agency security operation has arrested at least 29 people, including three chiefs, in a sweeping crackdown targeting criminal networks behind the forgery of crucial documents across the country.
The intelligence-led operation, conducted over the past week, spanned Nairobi and several rural towns.
Police said the three chiefs were allegedly involved in fabricating citizenship documents, a crime authorities warn poses serious risks to national security.
Officials involved in the operation noted that the syndicate’s activities exposed both the public and the country to significant dangers.
“Citizenship documents must be protected, and that is why we are determined to crack this gang,” an official involved in the operation said on Saturday.
