Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga has been arrested, lawyer Ndegwa Njiru has said.
Njenga was apparently nabbed in lower Matasia in Ngong and was taken to an undisclosed location.
Reports indicate that the former Mungiki sect leader was taken away by officers who arrived in unmarked vehicles.
They alleged that they were going to grill him about the ongoing protests.

The opposition earlier termed the first day of the three-day anti-government protests a success.
In a statement, Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua asked their supporters to recharge and resume tomorrow.
“We wish to appeal to the liberators this evening that it is now time for them to retreat to their homes, refresh and recharge in readiness for renewed action tomorrow, Thursday, July 20, 2023- day Two of the 3rd Wave Maandamano,” she said.
The former Justice minister also voiced concern over the brutality meted on the protesters.

“We empathise with those whose loved ones have lost lives in the hands of rogue elements in the police service. We also wish those who suffered injuries and are lying in various hospitals across the country, quick recovery,” she added.
The protests left five dead, and 30 others with injured.
300 protesters are, however, cooling their heels in police stations across the country.
