NAIROBI, Kenya — A Kenyan opposition politician alleged he was drugged and deported to Dubai early Thursday after his attempt to enter Kenya led to him being detained in an airport toilet for more than a day. Miguna Miguna, targeted in a Kenyan government crackdown amid lingering election tensions, was deported even after a court ordered authorities to release him, lawyer Cliff Ombeta said. Miguna said in a Facebook post that authorities broke into the airport toilet where he had been held and forcibly injected him with a substance and he passed out. “I will and must return to Kenya as a Kenyan citizen by birth as various courts have ordered,” he wrote. A court later ordered that Miguna’s Kenyan passport be restored and that he be allowed to return.
