Security agents are looking for one of the men deported alongside Nigerian businessman Anthony Chinedu after he sneaked back to Kenya through the Kenya-Tanzania border.
And an immigration officer who allowed Eneke Chimenze alias Anaeke Chimezie to pass through the Namanga border has been arrested and is expected in court on Friday afternoon.
The officer was arrested on Friday morning and brought to Nairobi where he was questioned.
He is said to have allowed the Nigerian back to the country a month after he and his compatriots including Chinedu and Christopher Nnanyelu were deported over drug trafficking charges.
Authorities said the suspect is believed to be in Nairobi.
"We fear he may harm the officers who participated in his deportation or other people, said an officer who is aware of the operations.
Head of CID in Nairobi Nicholas Kamwende said efforts to arrest the Nigerian were ongoing.
"We have laws and we must apply them. He will be caught soon," said Kamwende.
When the Nigerians were deported on June 3, they caused drama in Lagos prompting the detention of their plane for two weeks.
The Nigerian government came out to declare that it was the one holding the seven Kenyan government officials and five airline crew who had escorted Chinedu and his compatriots.
The plane and its crew, immigration officials and police were later released on the intervention of President Goodluck Jonathan.
