Lawyer Miguna Miguna has been admitted to a hospital in Dubai following his protests about being unwell and unable to fly to London.
The leader of the National Resistance Movement refused to take a flight to the UK and said he could only take one back to Nairobi.
Miguna claimed he was drugged before he was deported to Dubai on
Wednesday night.

Embassy,
he was
admitted at Sheikh Rashid Hospital. Miguna is also a citizen of Canada.

According to sources privy to the matter, the embassy has taken charge of the lawyer so he will receive treatment before any action is taken against him.
In a video shared by Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria,
Miguna earlier said he could not walk into the plane to London as he fell sick.
He added that he was brutalised in Kenya but that he thought things would be different in Dubai.
"This
is an international
airline and airport ... I know the rules ... I am following the rules ... I am sick... I am allowed
to say if I am sick ... you cannot force me to walk if I cannot walk ..." he says in the video as his voice breaks.

Miguna also said: "I’m sick. I need medical treatment ... I need urgent help here. I want to take a flight only to Nairobi ..."I'm sick. My ribs and body are hurting all over. This is a travesty of justice."
