I Spent Sh274,000 to Repair Damaged Nairobi House After Police Raid, Miguna Miguna Claims

Deported Kenyan-Canadian lawyer Miguna Miguna claims he used Sh274,000 to repair his house which was damaged by police during a raid that saw him arrested on February 2nd, 2018.

Police stormed Miguna's residence located in Nairobi's Runda estate and forcefully arrested him for allegedly administering oath of office to opposition leader Raila Odinga as 'people's president' on January 30th. 

Miguna resisted arrest by locking himself inside the house, but police forcefully entered the house leaving behind a trail of destruction.

In an affidavit filed in court through his lawyer John Khaminwa, Miguna says he used Sh274,000 as payment for repairs on the house.

The outspoken lawyer says he paid the amount to his interior designer to renovate the house after it was badly damaged by state officers when they raided and arrested him.

The designer, Edgar Monsey Oriedo says he found glass pieces scattered inside and outside the house when he inspected the home, with the window panes to the main door broken.

Oriedo further said the door and locks to the bedroom were irreparably damaged and the staircase windows completely smashed as well.

He said he repaired the steel door, bedroom doors, kitchen window panes, toilet window panes, corridor lamps, door locks, padlocks, painting, among other repairs.
