More than 90 more illegal aliens were Tuesday deported to Somalia after they were found to be in the country illegally in the ongoing security operation.

The 93 boarded a plane at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and taken to Mogadishu in an event witnessed by police and immigration officials.

Somalia Ambassador to Kenya Mohamed Ali Nur said a 93-year-old man was among those deported.

“Home sweet home, we have helped 93 Somalis to go home including this 93-years old man,” said Nur in a tweet.

They are part of the more than 158 illegal aliens who were slated for deportation from JKIA.

So far close to 400 have been deported to Somalia.

Police boss David Kimaiyo said their operation on illegal immigrants is ongoing.

We are determined to deport them safely.

We will deport more once they are caught,” said Kimaiyo.
