Chaos broke out along Southern Bypass and a section of Kibera in Nairobi after rowdy youth blocked roads and lit bonfires to protest the arrest of former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna.
The self-proclaimed Nasa's National Resistance Movement (NRM) general was dramatically arrested after police raided his home in Runda estate, Nairobi on Friday morning.
The Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti said Miguna was arrested for taking part in an illegal swearing-in of opposition leader Raila Odinga, being a member of NRM - which was recently declared a criminal group, as well as calling for the burning of portraits of a legally elected President.
“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.
“He also said he is going to lead people to burn portraits of a democratically elected president. Then what do you expect from us? He also confessed he is the one who administered the oath,” added Kinoti.
Miguna, together with Ruaraka Member of Parliament Tom Joseph Kajwang’ administered oath on Raila during the ceremony held at Uhuru Park grounds.
“The police have bombed their way into my house. I can’t speak on the phone right now. They have ransacked the house!!” Miguna tweeted minutes before he was taken in.
“Some are still hiding in the compound and my house hoping that I make a move so that they can shoot me and claim that there was a ‘shootout!’ I’m staying put! We need our youth here in large numbers!! 486 Runda Meadows!” read another tweet.

Arrest them. They are causing chaos in our country.
This is what NASA was looking for. They have started killing their own so they can claim police did it. They need the dead to rise to power. What will follow is speach by NASA politicians about the dead and about a government killing its own people so they can call for NUSU mkate. Lord of the deadis in line waiting. Watch the show unfold
It’s good all these people causing Chaos to be arrested. All these NASA leaders that led the swearing in should go to prison! Smart Kenyans don’t have time to stop their businesses due to NASA. They are causing bloodshed in our nation. They should all be prisoners and I support the government 100% for doing their job.
We are at a very good growing point in our country and it’s not time to destroy Resources.
Youth needed in 486 Runda Meadows.....PLEASE COME AND BE SHOT....come and die INSTEAD of me the VIP!!!! Ye youth whose life does not matter, go die.
Miguna better check your rifhts, obligations and responsibilities as a duo citizen of Kenya and Canada.
You might lose your Canadian one for engaging in illegal movement and activities.
No wonder the lord of poverty loves his followers to remain poor so that he can misuse them. Youth from his neighborhood Karen cannot get out to throw stones. The poorer they are the better for him.
Jubilee illegal government is crumbling. WHY HAVE THEY NOT ARRESTED PRESIDENT RAILA ODINGA AFTER ALL HE IS THE OATH TAKER!
Don't be funny... a president cannot be arrested. You have to deal with his generals first before you get to him... comprehende dude??
@mbingu you are a heap of bullshit a.k.a deadwood. Who in their right mind would arrest a 78 year old mentally sick clown?

Our speakers of Senate and Parliament should wake up now. Those who signed the affidavit endorsing the swearing in of odinga should vacate coz they went against their oath of office. IEBC should prepare well for Electoral Justice. Haiyai Dialogue kila mara na sheria inavunjwa.
I agree @Kibe. There is no way they can serve two masters.. We as the public are happy to have them serve their Lord of poverty.. we don't want turncoats.
The NASA youth ought to realize this is a no win battle. Kenya has a sitting government and laws of the land. You can never win against the law through violence. These young people are being used. No wonder they say, "Young and stupid".
