Police said they arrested George Aladwa at his home early on Saturday morning, before releasing him several hours later after questioning. He is also being questioned over the chaos in (Nairobi) where he mobilised youths,” police spokesman Charles Owino told AFP. The government has denounced Odinga for trying to “overthrow” Kenyatta, while the opposition claims the election process was rigged and the result illegitimate. Aladwa’s detention follows the separate arrests this week of opposition firebrand Miguna Miguna and of lawyer TJ Kajwang for their alleged key roles in Odinga’s swearing-in. International calls for dialogue between the two sides have for months been ignored by both the government and opposition.
