Kenya has deported Somalia’s Second Deputy Prime Minister, Jibril Abdirashid Haji, after immigration officials accused him of holding a Kenyan passport that authorities believe may have been obtained fraudulently, according to a Kenyan police report.
The incident, which unfolded at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, marks a rare diplomatic episode involving a senior serving official from Somalia.
According to Kenyan authorities, Mr Haji arrived in Nairobi on Wednesday using a Somali diplomatic passport and carrying what officials described as a valid Kenyan visa.
During routine immigration checks, officials allegedly linked him to a Kenyan passport that investigators suspect had been acquired unlawfully.
