The self-declared general is now pleading with DCI director George Kinoti to release his vehicle.

According to Miguna Miguna, five heavily-armed Flying Squad officers who were disbanded to Sting Squad Headquarters seized his vehicle on Saturday at around 12:30 pm in Nairobi.

He says the vehicle was taken from Ferdinand Ogumah who has been operating it.

The controversial lawyer speculates that his vehicle might have been detained most likely to install surveillance devices.

“To @DCI_Kenya Kinoti: At around 12:30PM 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! ” he posted.

His plane is expected to land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at exactly 9:25 pm.

He was deported to Canada in 2018 after commissioning NASA leader Raila Odinga’s controversial swearing in ceremony at Uhuru Park.

The government argued that Miguna denounced his Kenyan citizenship in 1998.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

The fugitive controversial private investigator is on the run and DCI George Kinoti has described her as a serial outlaw wanted for various criminal activities including robbery with violence.

The directorate of criminal investigations is still on the hunt for Jane Wawira Mugo who claimed to be a private detective for years.

Jane Wawira Mugo, a powerful and ruthless woman who fashioned herself as an undercover cop prominently features in a fraud case in which a Russian national, Vladimir Borisenko was conned a whooping sh22 million.

According to a local daily, her company, Trimo Security had been hired to help recover the money and trace the suspects who had gone underground.

But instead Mugo hijacked the moment as a windfall opportunity only to collude with the thieves, clearing agents at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to share the loot.

She later schemed a move that forced the frighten foreigner into escaping from the Country after he started receiving death threats from the very people who were supposed to held him recover his money.

But speaking to Citizen TV on Thursday, Jane said the warrant of arrest issued against her has been fuelled by an investigation case she has been working on that reveals alleged corruption among top security officials in the government.

“I am not surprised because I saw it coming, and I had already been prepared by some of the officers I had worked with, I had already been told that since I am working on a sensitive matter, and the matter is touching on some senior government officials… So it is a total witch hunting of the people in government who feel they are untouchable,” said Ms. Wawira.

Jane Mugo has been a private investigator since 2010, undertaking various training, including a criminology course to better her knowledge.

She says the warrant of arrest from people she has worked with is nothing less than a betrayal.
