[Published: Wednesday August 18 2010]

Kenyan arrested over 'albino sale'

Dodoma, 18 Aug-(ANA)-Police in Tanzania say they have arrested a Kenyan national who was attempting to sell an albino man..

The arrest was made in a sting operation as police pretended to be businessmen buying albino body parts.

Police say they struck a deal equivalent to more than $250,000 (£159,000) for the 20-year-old man.

Albino body parts are prized in parts of Africa, with witchdoctors claiming they have special powers. The Tanzanian government has promised to take action.

According to the Tanzanian police a 28-year-old Kenyan man, Nathan Mutei, was arrested just outside the town of Mwanza as he attempted to sell an albino man. (ANA)
