A Somali diplomat in Kenya has been held in detention for more than a week, Somalia’s ambassador has told the BBC.
Ilyas Yusuf Warsame, a secretary of the Somali embassy in the capital, Nairobi, is currently “under interrogation”.
Ambassador Mohamed Ali America said he had complained to the Kenyan authorities, who had said Mr Warsame did not have immunity as he was Kenyan.
The arrest comes amid a security crackdown in Nairobi, amid warnings of a possible terror attack.
Last September, Somalia’s al-Shabab group attacked a Nairobi shopping centre in which at least 67 people died.
