It has emerged that eight Eritrean minors who are being detained at Lodwar police station in Turkana County have been subjected to gruesome living conditions for two weeks now and that the next course of action remains unclear.

The minors were in the company of 60 suspected illegal immigrants from Eritrea, who were arrested on October 5, 2023, at Todonyang in Turkana North Sub County, and for weeks now, the children have been confined in an incomplete building at the station, attracting concern.
