Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga was on Wednesday night arrested by a contingent of around 50 police officers.
Njenga was arrested alongside his brother Njoroge Njenga and his personal assistant Ole Lekishe while in his father’s home in Kiserian.
“My client Maina Njenga arrested and taken to an undisclosed location,” his lawyer Ndegwa Njiru said in a statement.
The ex-Mungiki leader, a close ally of Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party leader Raila Odinga, is suspected to have been arrested in connection with the ongoing protests.
The arrest follows the arrest of other Azimio allied leaders including Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino who was arrested at the JKIA, MP Ken Chonga of Kilifi South and a number of MCAs.
Top Azimio leaders including Raila Odinga, Martha Karua and Kalonzo Musyoka were a no-show in Wednesday’s demonstrations, despite confirming that the protests would continue on Thursday and Friday.
