The prospect of a better life abroad turned sour for 23 Kenyans who moved away from their country seeking greener pastures in the Middle East.
The tens of Kenyans were allegedly duped into flying to Myanmar where, instead of landing promising jobs as expected were compelled to join a scamming syndicate run by a Chinese.
Opposition by the Kenyans and other victims of different nationalities was met with hostility, and according to The Bangkok Post, the duped foreign nationals were subjected to torture until they agreed to be part of the scams.
One Kenyan took his chances by attempting to escape and it ultimately paid off as he somehow crossed the Thai-Myammar border to seek help.
