Maina’s brother Njoroge Kamunya said the politician was at his other wife’s house when he was taken by force.

In May, the former sect leader was declared wanted by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over criminal activities.

In a statement, DCI boss Mohamed Amin said they were looking for the politician over the recovery of two firearms and over 90 rolls of bhang at a home linked to Maina.

“One of the firearms recovered was a homemade pistol capable of firing while the other one was a Tokarev whose serial number had been defaced,” Amin said then.

In July, Maina was arrested and held incommunicado at a Kirinyaga police station.

He (Maina), Kamunya and one Felix Ratu were then charged with being in possession of offensive weapons contrary to law.

They were released on a Sh100,000 cash bail or a Sh200,000 bond.
