In an interesting twist of events, National Resistance Movement (NRM) self-proclaimed general, Miguna Miguna was rearrested on Friday evening hours after a High Court had ordered his release.
Advocate, Edwin Sifuna through his twitter stated that Miguna had been put back into the cells.
"Miguna has been put back in the cells a few minutes ago here at Githunguri Police Station. It appears orders have come to the local police to defy the High Court release order," Sifuna disclosed.

The controversial legal mind was also directed to appear before the court in person on Monday the following week.

Following the order, Mr Sifuna disclosed that they were prevented from leaving the police station by a crowd that had blocked the gate to the station.
"A crowd has laid siege to the Githunguri Police station to prevent Miguna and the rest of us from leaving,"
