But on catching wind of the motive, Nyoro, with the support of fellow lawmakers, however, stayed put until a half-hour to midnight when he successfully sneaked out of the station
According to reports, the legislator used a vehicle belonging to one of his colleagues to get out of the station without getting noticed.
Following his arrest orders, leaders associated with Tanga-tanga wing of Jubilee have come out strongly to condemn the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Police service for allowing themselves to be used to intimidate some leaders.
“I am actually surprised that Ndindi Nyoro has been arrested. I hope the Inspector General of Police remembers that power is transient and that we are merely temporary trustees in the offices bestowed upon us to serve and not to oppress others. I hope the Director of Public Prosecutions will stand up to be counted!,” Said Murkomen after Nyoro’s arrest.

My brother, Murkomen, why are you feigning surprise when it is self-evident to even your grade 6-child that Kenya's illegitimate despot Uhuru Kenyatta is using the @DCI_Kenya, @ODPP_KE and @EACCKenya to decapitate his deputy @WilliamsRuto by politically amputating his "legs?" https://t.co/ZVZ1DaZaLp
