Self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general Miguna Miguna is calling on the international community to intervene and help him return to Kenya.
Miguna Miguna says he was assaulted and drugged before being put in a Dubai-bound Emirates flight on Wednesday night for deportation to Canada.
“About 50 heavily armed thugs, led by the uniformed Somali policeman who had commanded them on Monday, wrestled me to the ground and sat on me as a group of four different thugs injected substances into my soles, arms, hands, both sides of my ribs and basically all over my body until I passed out,” Miguna said from Dubai.
Miguna, who complained of body injuries before going to the hospital, says he was treated for injuries at a Dubai hospital. “Today, at around 5:25am, after the Emirates had landed and passengers were disembarking, I regained consciousness and asked a person seated next to me, who also appeared like a flying squad officer, where we were,” added Miguna.
Miguna says he has no travel documents and has refused to leave Dubai unless he is returned to Kenya. “I want to take a flight only to Nairobi. Nowhere else!,” he wrote on Thursday from Dubai. He was holed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport since Monday night after arriving on a flight from Dubai. Immigration officials demanded he hand in his Canadian passport to be cleared into the country, but he insisted on being allowed into the country as a Kenyan, causing the standoff.Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria boarded the same flight as Miguna, and
posted a video online showing Miguna Miguna arguing with a security officer at the Dubai airport. “Do whatever you want to do, kill me if you want, I don’t fear death…so do whatever you want,” Miguna is heard saying in the video, while seated at the airport’s arrival terminal with his luggage.
Some sources say Miguna’s exit from Kenya was facilitated by the Canadian embassy, and that Canadian officials were assisting Miguna in Dubai.

What did Miguna do? He refused to provide passport at an international port of entry. The only Kenyan entry points where one can use an ID are those along Kenya/Uganda border. Even Namanga, one need a passport, I was there 3 months ago. Or may be Miguna is special.
What is inhumane? The man asked for it and he got it. He had choices but he opted to go his own way. Stupidity is not a right. Stupidity is Miguna’s gift from the Almighty.
The authorities in Dubai should jail him. This arrogant son of a bitch belongs to jail. He is not above the law. He should follow the law like everybody else. I was happy to hear he got deported.
ati you'll never book a flight on Emirates? Do you have your own plane? People who talk like this have never been inside an airport,
Miguna knows a return to Canada means that his ability to earn has been reduced to nil. All potential employer(s) or partners have to do is google his name. Secondly, he is facing litigation in Canada on previous cases. I am not sure which airline Will ever want him as a passenger as he is now considered hostile. The only place he seems to thrive is in Kenya as a news commentator because many outlets have decided ratings are more important than decorum.
Once a fool always a fool. Stubbornness, naivety, arrogance and sheer recklessness will lead to nowhere. You can insult people with your foul mouth, you can bash the government, but at the end of it all, the laws are the laws and they must be obeyed. You can stay at UAE terminal but for how long? Think, reason, and reconcile yourself Miguna Miguna.
Huyu mzee miguna naye
Why do you want international media to come to your aide. They are aware and have no time for these nonsense. You wanted these... you got it. Dubai officials aren't gonna stomach you either. Sasa Kwani if you through tantrum you think police are just gonna come give you hugs? Wooooiii no . They manhandle you and now u take over another patients bed. Taking selfies... a sick individual is categorized as sick. You are just dramatically and categorically attention seeker! Wake up match back to canada. Throw another tantrum to a country that have given you freedom
Personnally ithink this is a simple issue gone bad.Why couldnt he fill the required forms that would let him into the country?That is he really wanted to get in that bad.Ialso blame his lawyers for not encouraging him to fill them and worry about expiration date later...
All these theatrics from Miguna is to garner him political mileage through sympathy.
Cant believe that someone would ask what did Miguna do?? Please the Man wants immigration to follow court orders, Did he miguna follow supreme court orders when Uhuru was sworn in? why did he continue to disobey the rule of law by swearing Raila? Ama the law is one sided. Why does NASA cases all end up in Odunga's bench? I though there are other judges in Nairobi. Please ujinga mingi za hiki kizee apelekee Canada. Do you think he would pull this stunts in the US or Canada?
Maxiley, me think you are going soft. Miguna is his own worst enemy....he thinks he knows everything and everyone else is but an idiot. The plan went badly off when he sneaked off his Canadian PP. He should simply have produced his Canadian PP at the port for a visa. Once in...entirely different, he start the process for which he was already protected by the standing orders. Lakini no, Miguna wanted to stick his finger at the government for deporting him before. Lesson: Not wise to cut your nose to spite your face! I feel sorry for him, but I equally feel law has to be applied universally. Tosha.
Hahaha.No @Sukari...Iam tired of this miguna drama.Iwish they had just ignored him...may be uts the media.Ofcourse miguna had to abid by the law...cops helped in causing this drama.Come on awhole batalion for one fellow
