Lawyer Miguna Miguna was arrested in a dramatic fashion at his Runda home in Nairobi on Friday.
Police used force to break into his house before arresting him after a brief standoff.
Miguna was arrested days after he and Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang administered an oath to opposition leader Raila Odinga at Uhuru Park.
He was the one who stamped the document and
the self-declared 'general' of the outlawed National Resistance Movement.

him. You [Matiang'i] are nothing."
