Somalia’s Second Deputy Prime Minister was deported from Kenya on Thursday over allegations of passport fraud, according to numerous reports.
A police report on Friday showed that Jibril Abdi-rashid Haji, Somalia’s Second Deputy Prime Minister, arrived in Nairobi on Wednesday with a Somali diplomatic passport and valid visa.
But immigration officials suspected him of also holding a Kenyan passport that he had acquired illicitly.
Haji reportedly refused to hand it over, saying it was a matter for the courts. He was then put on a flight back to Mogadishu, effectively denied entry into Kenya.
Neither government has commented on the reports.
