Thursday, June 1, 2023

Authorities are searching for an Ethiopian expatriate, who was earlier deported from the country, arrived at Kuwait Airport and escaped the security check to enter inside the country.

According to report, upon his arrival in Kuwait, he proceeded to the passport counter where it was revealed through fingerprint analysis that he had previously been deported and barred from entering the country. As a result, he was handed over to the airport investigations team, who subsequently transferred him to the airport hotel in preparation for his deportation on a returning flight. However later it was found out that he escaped from the detention and entered the country.

Authorities formed an investigation committee to determine the circumstances of his escape.
