The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has issued a warning to an international airline over alleged involvement in the smuggling of people via Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. In a letter dated September 6, Officer Commanding Anti-Terrorism Unit at the JKIA said staff attached to various agencies at the airport are also involved in the illegal activity. The letter seen by the Star indicates that the station manager at JKIA of the airline in question received it on September 11, 2023. A video shared on social media platform X on September 11 captured an Immigration officer denying a man who said he was from Uganda travel approval to Canada via JKIA. "You need to go back to Uganda and start the journey from there," the Immigration officer told the passenger who said he was destined for Toronto.
