Malik Obama Reacts to Miguna Miguna's Deportation

Former United States President Barack Obama's half brother, Malik Obama has reacted to the dramatic deportation of firebrand lawyer Miguna Miguna by Kenyan authorities.

Miguna was bundled out of the country on Wednesday night after landing at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport from Canada on Monday afternoon.

He was, however, denied entry after reportedly refusing to produce the documents he traveled in for stamping and clearance.

Taking to social media, Obama said that it was unfortunate that the government can deport a citizen born in Kenya even when courts had ordered he be allowed back after first deportation on February 6th.

"@MigunaMiguna is a Kenyan who was just deported from his own country Kenya for the second time even when the courts declared the government action illegal. He was deported because he opposes the government. very sad!" Malik said in a tweet. 

"And so they are stuck in that shithole. Their own countries won't allow them to go in and out freely and the Western world won't let them in. What a place to be," he wondered. 

Obama added that, "Only those who are lucky and privileged enjoy this world."

Miguna was first banished to Canada on February 6th over his role in the swearing in of Opposition chief Raila Odinga as people's president.
