Maybe it was because Mogadishu before the chaos was the cultural hub and Italian loanwords might have been a sign of sophistication and class and may have become popular in other regions to elevate their social situation. It's is a wild guess, but an observation on the Somali mainstream culture pre-civil war, such as social trends would reveal if it were the case or not.

 

[AdoonkaAlle]

katiinad = necklace
silsilad = chain

 

[Som]

Bekeri = bicchiere (Glass)
Bastolad = pistola(pistol)
Plus some football terminology is Italian like rigore=penalty, arbitro=referee.

That's definitely true.
Somalia was also de facto administer in Italian between 1960 and 1972 when the Somali script was developed.
During this 12 year period the government used mainly Italian , Arabic and English in official matters
