Former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna has allegedly suffered an Asthma attack while in police custody, his lawyer has said.
Taking to Twitter, lawyer Edwin Sifuna, who represents Miguna claimed that he suffered the attack at Lari police station on Sunday, where he's being detained.
Sifuna alleged that despite the attack, the OCS at the station declined to allow him offer help to his client.
“It’s true. We recieved info that Miguna has suffered an Asthma attack. I have with me an inhaler but the OCS has become hostile. He won’t let me see my client to give him the medication,” said Sifuna.
Miguna was apprehended at his residence in Runda home, Nairobi on Friday for being one of the leaders at the centre of controversial ‘swearing-in’ of opposition leader Raila Odinga as people’s president.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti said the lawyer was arrested for a number of reasons including being a member of National Resistance Movement, which was recently declared a criminal group by government.
“Miguna publicly declared that he is the general of NRM, which is already declared a proscribed group. By the time he declared publicly, there was a gazette notice by the minister. How can we let it go? We are law enforcers,” said Kinoti.
Miguna had also on Thursday directed Nasa supporters to remove President Kenyatta's portraits from their business premises and replace them with those of Raila.
"We are ordering NRM soldiers to take down Uhuru portraits from all homes, businesses and every premise they occupy," Miguna said.
"We will distribute the portraits ourselves. We are going to do it in an organised and fashioned way," he said.
Miguna is still in police custody even after the court ordered he be released on Sh50,000 cash bail.

What the heck is asthma?
General, you said you were the general of NR......sijui what. It comes with a cost.
Why didn't he die and save many Kenyans lives , conspiracy to murder - Karma is bitch and it's working !
Notably, Raila has not been knocking at the prison cells as he did with Babu. What goes?..come baby come!!
The general of NRM called 'come baby come'. He meant come hospital come. The general is not physically fit to do the job
"Come baby come. I have been ready since I was a teenager".
Miguna, didn't they look at your medical history before making you a general. When they came looking for you in your house you should have ducked in the closet with your inhaler next to your balls cos it should mean that much to you. Never thought a full fledged general would be hiding in the closet!!!!
He needs another week there with street boys for company na hiyo asthma itakwisha.
Am sure I read somewhere that this guy was released on bond.... luopeans spinning social media...
tomorrow you will tell us miguna was raped in the cell - next day he has constipation or diarrhea - ile mhalo ya maboga ya cell ... vindu vijenjanga
The demon didn't remember he was still a KIHII when he dared Matiangi and Boinet to arrest him.
This sick government will have to eventually release you and then it is time to sue. This time hakuna ati let’s move on. Kwani hii Kenya tutatawaliwa na hawa manyani mpaka lini.And they continue to take lives without caring.When if ever will we know why Msando was killed?
SO WHO IS ABIDING BY THE LAW IN KENYA?
