Miguna Miguna Finally Flown to Canada from Dubai

Embattled Lawyer Miguna Miguna is reported to have departed Dubai for Toronto, Canada on Sunday night.

Reports indicate that the self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general left the United Arab Emirates capital aboard Air Canada flight AC 057, which departed minutes to midnight. He reportedly boarded the aircraft while under the escort of UAE police.

One of his lawyers, Cliff Ombeta told a local media that the politician was unreachable on Sunday night, hence, he had “most likely” left the Dubai International Airport, where he has been since his deportation from Kenya four days ago.

In a tweet, another of his lawyers, Nelson Havi confirmed that Miguna left Dubai with the help of the Canadian Consulate in UAE and will return to Kenya at a later date.

"(He) travelled to and arrived in Toronto, Canada. He will undergo toxicology tests and treatment for the chemicals used to sedate and poison him. He will return thereafter," Mr Havi posted on Twitter.

The fiery lawyer was put in a Dubai-bound flight by Kenyan authorities on Wednesday night after immigration officials at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport declined to grant him entry into the country.

Miguna remained holed up at Dubai International Airport as he maintained he would only board a flight headed to Nairobi.
