Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna homecoming celebration is in limbo after Air France showed him 'red alert' from Kenya.

This leaves Miguna's much-touted return to Kenya tomorrow uncertain.

"This is to inform Kenyans and the world that AirFrance officials at the check-in counter at the Berlin Brandenburg Airport have just informed me that the Government of Kenya sent them a "red alert" this morning that they cannot fly me to Nairobi. I'm waiting for a copy," Miguna said.

On Twitter, Miguna showed a letter reportedly issued by Air France at the airport.

"They have refused to state "Red Alert." But they have indicated that it is obvious and they empathize with me but that there is nothing they can do," he said.

"Let our legal team get to work. Thanks everyone for the support. Aluta Continua."

According to the letter it states that Miguna booked flight AFA835 from Berlin Brandenburg International Airport to Paris connecting on November 15.

But he did not board the aircraft.

"They fear me because they are extremely weak and unpopular. I'll keep you updated," he said.

On Friday, the High court declined to lift the red alerts issued by the Kenyan government preventing self-declared NRM General Miguna Miguna to travel to the country.

Judge Hedwig Ong'undi said there was no evidence showing that Miguna had been stopped from returning to the country.

He noted that the burden of proof was on Miguna to show that the red alerts exist.

"There is no evidence to prove the alerts exist. This court cannot rule on speculation to grant the orders he is seeking. Case dismissed," Justice Hedwig said.

"Court being a Court of law expected him to adduce evidence to prove the existence of the red alerts."

Miguna, who hold citizenship for Kenya and Canada, was first deported in February 2018 after taking part in the swearing-in of Raila as the 'People's President' at Uhuru Park on January 30, 2018.
