As earlier reported by TUKO.co.ke, the outspoken lawmaker had been on the run since he got wind the police were looking for him but on the evening of Monday the long arm of government caught up with him.

He was accused of resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer, allegations he has since denied.

The legislator's troubles started following an altercation he had on Sunday, September 8, with nominated MP Maina Kamanda during a church function in Murang'a county.

Efforts of police officers to calm down the faithfuls following the chaos that erupted in the sanctuary bore no fruits as the leaders went for each other's throats.

While protesting the arrest, some rowdy youths were heard chanting anti-Kamanda slogans with some saying he was failure given he is just a nominated MP.

"Kamanda should know this is Murang'a county and not Kiambu, he was defeated by Jaguar and he should respect the people of Murang'a," said one of the protesters.

Nyoro's lawyer who is also Murang'a Senator Irungu Kang'ata confirmed his client was detained at Murang'a police station and would be arraigned on Tuesday.
