- The other group was detained at a local police station pending arraignment and planned repatriation, police said.
- The group told police they had not eaten for days and were on their way to South Africa.
At least 10 Ethiopian nationals were arrested on their way to Muthara, Meru county.
The aliens were being transported in a saloon car when police intercepted it on Tuesday.
Police said they did not have proper traveling documents during the arrest.
This is the latest such incident to happen in a series of human trafficking cases.
The officers said one of the suspects, who appeared weak and sick was taken to Muthara General Hospital for treatment.
Police said the other group was detained at a local police station pending arraignment and planned repatriation.
The group told police they had not eaten for days and were on their way to South Africa.
Their trafficker was missing, as the driver of the car was detained for grilling and possible arraignment.
On Sunday, another group of ten Ethiopians was arrested from a house in Taita Taveta while headed to Tanzania.
They told police they were being trafficked to Tanzania through the Taita Taveta border.
Police said the men were locked in a house along Mwarangeenyi- Mumari Sechu Road when they found them.
Locals had called police to inform them of the presence of the aliens at the weekend, when they went out for a call of nature.
Police said the trafficker behind the incident is yet to be found.
Tens of Ethiopians are trafficked in the country in a worrying trend.
According to officials, plans are underway to repatriate tens of Ethiopians detained at various places in the country, in the past two months alone.
Police said most of the aliens from Ethiopia use the Moyale route in their bid to go to South Africa and the Middle East.
Majority of them are usually arrested in various places in the country as they wait to be moved to their next destinations.
Police and immigration officials have decried increased cases of Ethiopian aliens arrested while on transit.
Officials from the Transnational Organised Crime are conducting joint operations to deal with the issue of human trafficking.
They say majority of those arrested, come to Kenya to seek jobs or are on transit.
The officials say it puzzling is how the immigrants manage to evade many police roadblocks at the Moyale border because they travel in groups.
There are more than 20 roadblocks on the stretch, which raises the seriousness of the security agents taming the practice.
Kenya's efforts to deal with the menace saw an Ethiopian national sentenced to 31 years in prison for trafficking 12 fellow Ethiopians immigrants to Nairobi.
Yibekal Gatachew alias Adinan Mohamed Galano was sentenced by a Kahawa West Law Court on September 7 after his arrest on November 3, 2021 in Ngumo estate, Nairobi.
Those arrested are usually repatriated to their country, police and immigration officials say.
