A group of six Kenyans are stranded at the Central Station in Stockholm after arriving in the country through Denmark. According to information available to KSB, the young Kenyans left Kenya for Stockholm to pursue further education at a Swedish University.
Information about them is scarce and KSB is trying to reach them. However, according to what is known, the six Kenyans were to travel to Sweden through Denmark after which they were supposed to link up with a contact in Sweden who was supposed to wire them to a Swedish university. All the arrangements were reportedly tied from Kenya by an agent who was supposedly paid for the job.
The Kenyans did reach Denmark as had been planned but when they arrived in Stockholm, the agent who was supposed to pick them up and assist them further did not turn up. They therefore ended up being stranded at the Central station where they have been sleeping.
A Kenyan who bumped into them at the Central Station and who alerted KSB said that the situation is very serious because the young Kenyans have ran out of money and so they have no food to eat. They have nowhere to sleep and are spending cold winter at the Central station.
The Kenyans have appealed for urgent help from sympathizers and well-wishers. They need a place to sleep because they are freezing while they have also appealed for food. They are camping at the Central station and anybody who wants to help can go there and meet them or call KSB.
KSB appeals to Ambassador Purity Muhindi to intervene on their behalf by trying to seek for a solution to the crisis of these young Kenyans who appear to have been duped by an Education con-artist with networks in Sweden. KSB is monitoring their situation and will report on anything new.
