Details on Miguna Miguna ‘deportation’

Self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) ‘General’ Miguna Miguna was deported to Canada on Tuesday night, according to his lawyers.

Miguna was reportedly put into a KLM flight departing Nairobi for Amsterdam minutes to 10pm.

This came hours after the High Court in Nairobi stopped all cases against him following police failure to produce him at the Milimani court.

One of Miguna’s lawyers, Nelson Havi, said on Twitter: “We are reliably informed that Miguna Miguna has been forced into a KLM flight for “deportation” to Canada. Now, how do you deport a Kenyan? This Country has been overrun by criminals”.

On Wednesday at 12.19am, Nexus Kenya, the Jubilee government newsroom posted on its official Twitter account: “Miguna is headed home. The court ordered he gets released and @InteriorKE obeyed the orders and even assisted him with a flight ticket home. Please note he renewed his Canadian Passport on 16th June 2017”.
