“Yu Ling, a cashier at the hotel holding a visitor’s visa but without a work permit was also arrested. Eight Kenyans who work at the hotel were also escorted to Kilimani Police Station for further interrogation,” a DCI post on Twitter read as reported by African News.

Following reports of an incident doing rounds in sections of the press depicting a man of Asian descent assaulting a male employee said to be working at a hotel, this morning detectives from Kilimani raided Chez Wou Restaurant in Kileleshwa in pursuit of the matter. https://t.co/1Cjo0BHTGs
