Kenya’s state-owned airline has accused the Republic of Congo’s military of holding two of its staffers since last week over cargo issues
Kenya’s state-owned airline has accused the Republic of Congo’s military of holding two of its staffers since last Friday over cargo issues. Kenya Airways, known as KQ, said on Friday the staffers were arrested in its airport office in the capital, Kinshasa, over missing documentation for cargo that the airline had not accepted. The cargo has been described as “valuable,” but its contents have not been disclosed.
He said the staffers' cellphones were seized and colleagues and embassy officials were only granted a few minutes with them. The airline filed an application at the military court to have the staffers released and it was granted on Thursday, he said. “Despite the court orders, the military intelligence unit is still holding them incommunicado,” the statement said. The airline urged the Kenyan and Congolese governments to ensure the matter is resolved.
