The youths barricaded parts of the Southern Bypass with burning tyres. There were also reports of motorists being stoned.

The eruption came a few hours after the arrest of Miguna who administered the oath taken by NASA leader Raila Odinga.

The Canada-based lawyer was picked up by detectives in a dramatic swoop at his Runda home.

Miguna was administered the controversial oath alongside Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang who was also arrested on Wednesday evening, and later released by a magistrate court on Thursday.
