Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna has claimed that on Saturday, a few minutes past noon, a group of five armed officers illegally seized his vehicle.
Taking it to his Twitter account, Miguna told the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) that the five officers were from the Special Service Unit, formerly called Flying Squad.
"To @DCI_Kenya Kinoti: At around 12:30 PM today, 5 heavily-armed Flying Squad officers now calling themselves "Special Service Unit" ILLEGALLY SEIZED my vehicle from @FerdinandOgumah in Nairobi and detained it, most likely to install SURVEILLANCE DEVICES. Release my vehicle!" Miguna wrote
Addressing the DCI boss George Kinoti, Miguna explained that the officers were not dressed in their official uniform and were heavily armed.
"Mr Kinoti: The heavily-armed men were not dressed in police uniform and were not using a marked @PoliceKE vehicle. The officer in charge was Khadija Sudi who gave his telephone number as 0723-930-634. They seized the vehicle on Zanzibar Road, South B, Nairobi, "Miguna added.
On December 19, 2019, Miguna said that he will be travelling back to Kenya on January 7, 2020, via Lufthansa Flight LH 590.
