Patients were found starving and sleeping on the floor during a NACADA raid on an unlicensed rehabilitation center in Meru County, leading to its indefinite closure. The raid, part of a countrywide crackdown, uncovered severe neglect, abuse, and human rights violations.

• NACADA raided the center on September 24 after public complaints.
• Patients lacked food and medical care, were subjected to unsanitary overcrowding, and some were locked in for over 1 year, denied family contact.
• Anthony Omerikwa, NACADA CEO, warned against illegal, unlicensed facilities, stressing that centers operating under such deplorable conditions are not only illegal but deeply immoral.
• The center manager and staff were arrested, while the owner is still at large, with rescued patients temporarily housed at Meru Police Station.
