Miguna Miguna Spends the Night at JKIA Police Station after Failed Deportation Attempt
Former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna spent the night at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) police station on Monday.
This was after attempts by Immigration authorities and airport security officials to re-deport him back to Canada via Dubai on Monday failed after the he stood his ground and refused to board an Emirates airline flight.
A heavy contingent of police officers had forcefully placed him into a Dubai-bound flight, but Miguna disembarked the plane and insisted he will not board.
The Emirates flight was set to depart JKIA at 10:45pm, but was deliberately delayed to have Miguna bundled into it. Miguna had arrived at the Nairobi airport from Canada at about 2:30 pm, but was denied entry after refusing to surrender the passport he travelled in.
Efforts by National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga to secure his clearance and have him allowed to enter the country failed.
On Tuesday, the Immigration Department reiterated that Miguna was not a Kenyan citizen and must, therefore, fill relevant documents to reclaim his lost citizenship.
Acting Director of Immigration Services, Joseph Munywoki said the firebrand lawyer lost his Kenyan citizenship in 1998 after acquiring a Canadian one, at a time when Kenyan Constitution didn't allow dual citizenship.
“To enable Miguna regularise his citizenship status, the Department of Immigration has dispatched the requisite application forms for Miguna to fill the process,” the statement read.
Munywoki further noted that the "Peeling Back the Mask" author didn't bother to apply for dual citizenship upon the promulgation of the new Kenyan Constitution.
Efforts by his lawyers to see him at the airport on Tuesday morning were unsuccessful as security officers denied them entry.

Miguna Miguna, the new drama queen. The law is the law. Do what you are being requested to do and Kenya will let you in. Then you can fight for your rights when inside. Your stubborness and sheer stupidity is what will consume you.

The boy is special as the opposition court has directed his release from JKIA police station.I just wonder why all these lawyers including judge Aburili have never noticed the unnormally of that particular law.All i know is that penniless Miguna is regretting his unroyality to god/muchawi/muuaji Raila.

Why didn't they tase him with a taser? Tase him and then handcuff this manoki. Send him back to Canada. He is not the first manoki to refused to be send back to where he came from. There ways to send him back. Akipata hiyo uchungu a taser he will not misbehave again.

He should be taken to his country's embassy to continue with his theatrics there. Who is paying for his meals since he arrived atJKIA? Tax payers? He thoght there would be street demonstrations in his support. Bure kabisa. Broke, isolated.

THis could happen to alot of us in the diaspora. A kenyan born person is always a kenyan citizen. When it happen to you there will be nobody left to help you. This is not fair and the courts have spoken. If we are a country of laws then they should obey the courts... period

We are so limited to the understanding of facts about liberation courses. Miguna will not be deported out of kenya and he will ge his passport using the old application documents. He is Kenyan and will remain so. For thr just gogernment of kenya I helieve he is gallantly fighting a just war. Hevwill win and some day he will be paid for damages with your very taxes.
