After foiled attempt, State finally deports Miguna
Fiery lawyer Miguna Miguna has been deported for a second time even as his lawyers were beaten up by police and kicked out of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Wednesday night.
Miguna is said to have calmly boarded Emirates flight EK 722 that is headed to Dubai.
So far, there has been no official statement on the incident from his lawyers.
His social media accounts that earlier indicated he was being held inside a toilet at JKIA’s Terminal 2 have also not been updated.
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, who is apparently on the same flight, said in a Facebook post: “Aboard Flight EK 722. I can positively confirm that we have all nationalities on this flight including a very bald headed Canadian.”

Miguna Miguna on board Emirates plane enroute to Dubai
Citizen TV’s Jeff Koinange, who was aboard the flight, said Mr Miguna’s clothes were torn during the scuffle, as Mr Miguna shouted that he wasn’t going to board the flight.
“The immigration officials told the pilot that the flight was not going to leave until it had Mr Miguna on board. The foreign passengers were wondering who Mr Miguna was, and we had to profile him to them,” said Mr Koinange.
The plane was carrying passengers, who were headed to different destinations such as Malaysia, USA, Germany, among other destinations via Dubai.
The government early Monday, March 26, dismissed claims Miguna Miguna was denied entry into the country upon arrival from Canada on Monday.
The Interior ministry said Mr Miguna declined to present the passport he travelled in upon arrival at JKIA as required by law.
Mwenda Njoka, the ministry’s spokesperson, said: “IATA regulations requires travellers to show the documents they travelled in at the point of entry.”
There was a stand-off at the JKIA after Mr Miguna declined to be issued with a tourist visa to gain entry.
Miguna said he suspcted the tourist visa application, as sought by immigrations, was a trick which he wasn’t going to fall for.
He said applying for the visa would take away his rights.
He maintained that the government had to adhere to court orders issued, which stated he be allowed entry as a Kenyan citizen.
