Influx of West African countries foreigners in Roysambu area, Nairobi has caused havoc to the native residents who suspect them to be illegal immigrants.
According to some of the area residents, the foreigners, who had been evicted from the neigbourhood nicknamed as Lagos, have been steadily returning to the estate.
Those who spoke to Daily Active said that the foreigners, who they blamed for prostitution and con games, have been returning in large numbers.
“They are already back six months after they were evicted from the estate. We fear that they will return with their criminal ways,” said one Mary Kamau, who runs a hotel in the area.
Mr James Tochi, a landlord in the estate, said that he recently rented out a two bed-roomed house to two foreigners, but presently the house is home to more than 10 occupants.
He claims his repeated warnings to his tenants have fallen on deaf ear. He however claims that the foreigners, unlike Kenyan citizens, pay rent in time.
