Mogadishu, Somalia – The Office of the Attorney General of Somalia has announced the launch of a formal investigation into a complaint filed against the Station Manager of Turkish Airlines, following allegations of rights violations and arbitrary actions at Aden Adde International Airport.
The case was initiated after a citizen, Abdifatah Ahmed Hussein, submitted a formal complaint alleging that his constitutional rights were violated during his departure from the airport. In his account, he accused Turkish Airlines Station Manager Turhan Kenmen of authorizing procedures that flouted the law, leading to him being barred from his flight.
In an official press statement, the Attorney General’s Office confirmed that it immediately opened a case file upon receiving the complaint and has begun a comprehensive investigation to verify the facts and identify all parties involved.
“The case has now entered a legal phase that will enable us to take appropriate measures based on the findings of the investigation,” the statement read.
The Attorney General reaffirmed the office’s commitment to handling the matter in strict compliance with Somali law and the constitution, ensuring that all citizens have the right to legal recourse and defense.
The investigation follows a viral social media post by Abdfatah Ahmed Hussein, widely known online as “Somali Gamer.” In a video shared with his followers, he detailed the incident, claiming he was humiliatingly denied boarding despite having successfully passed all standard airport and immigration security checks.
In the video, he directly blamed the Turkish Airlines Station Manager for his removal from the flight, sparking public discussion and leading to the official complaint.
