The High Court has ordered for the immediate release of National Resistance Movement (NRM) self-proclaimed general Miguna Miguna.
Miguna is reportedly being detained at an undisclosed location at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi following the botched deportation attempt on Monday night.
Issuing the orders on Tuesday afternoon, Justice Roselyn Aburili directed that Miguna be brought in court on Wednesday.
The release order was granted after Miguna’s lawyers, John Khaminwa and Nelson Havi filed an application on Tuesday, seeking his immediate release and unrestricted right to reenter Kenya.
They further sought orders blocking the Immigration Department from deporting Miguna. The former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant has been at the airport for over 24 hours, since arriving on Monday at 2.30pm.
“The petitioner is currently being detained incommunicado in a toilet at Terminal 2 at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Nairobi,”Court papers by Miguna’s lawyers read.
“The respondents have unlawfully seized the petitioners Canadian passport in a clear attempt to have him declared stateless and continue to violate his fundamental rights and freedoms,” they add.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett, Acting Director of Immigration Joseph Munywoki and DCI boss George Kinoti have been listed as respondents in the case.

Court must be ignored by the government. Miguna must first obey the law and then go to court and file his complaints. This guy is a terrorist and he must be treated that way. Drama, drama and more drama; when will this end Miguna?

Sokora, you trully are an idiot. Open your eyes and clean the shit out of your ears.

If idiocy is about following the law, yes, I am an idiot. If you have a solution for Miguna, then state it because he needs all the help he can get. Ask yourself smart Giddy-Brooklyn, why has Canada not stepped in for Miguna? Or do you want to step in for him?

@ Giddy, I concur, we have an Idiot in our midst

And the fool is educated Miguna blindly following std 6 dropout,muuaji Raila and making enemies from Kisumu to Nairobi to Dallas and behaving opposite to his law profession by disobeying the same law.All i know was that jambazi Sonko wanted to appoint him DG but domo kumbwa ikazuia.
@Ken and Giddy, When you…
@Ken and Giddy, When you call people idiots for airing their views thats not maturity. There is freedom for people to air their views. None of you perhaps has ever been involved with policies and law making. neither do you both have any law degrees to interpret the law. In other words you also have opinions so in the loudest terms possible You are both are Idiots for lack of any merit when it comes to interpreting laws or policies
@GB, there is no point of…
@GB, there is no point of name calling. WE are all collectively IDIOTS. Idiots for electing these mediocre leaders who deploy a whole police & army force to deal with a one man guitar! Whilst the spotlight/resources are on Miguna, thieves, thugs and petty criminals must be thinking their Christmas has come early. Easy pickings whilst the Police are distracted elsewhere! NATIONAL OUTRAGE we should all be ashamed of. So GB, stop deflecting your frustrations on your fellow brother and own up to the fact that we have been duped by these leaders. We insult each other, call out some nasty tribalism, whilst behind the scenes they are dancing, eating and being merry at own expense. WOTE ni wezi, wezi wa utu, heshima and integrity. Miguna is just a token being tossed around by his so called lawyers, just to be dropped as soon as it suits them. Personally, I would not be surprised if Raila has something to do with this, he can’t stand the guy and could not get out of the airport fast enough according to footage shown so far.
@sokora thumbs up ? miguna…
@sokora thumbs up ? miguna must obey the immigration law then the gava will go to court.Uhuru we need to revisit this courts u spoke harshly about???Our judiciary need overhaul

….in the meantime, Kenyan’s do what they do best, bring out their coping mechanism with humour! Watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eif8Yje2mts
Oh la, la! listen to this…
Oh la, la! listen to this mzee giving the judge an ultimatum! “if state does not comply with the orders, then you have no business sitting here”!
Facts: Miguna has been accorded his rights and has refused to comply with international laws. b) The Canadian consulate were drawn in to represent him and he would not have it. He is sitting holding everyone ransom. The government has evidence he is Canadian. So, haul his bullying arse right back there, then apply for citizenship. Further, I would argue that his self declaration of coming back to hold a mother of all liberation prove that he has terrorist intentions. Right there, that takes a different twists. Kwani ma lawyers were Kenya wako wapi? He is taking the piss and the immigration department are massaging his inflated ego, c’mon now!
What a foolish man. We moved…
What a foolish man. We moved on and he is still at the train station. A real fool. No sympathy here!!
