Miguna on Tuesday revealed he was due to fly to Kenya but the government had not withdrawn a red alert that barred Lufthansa from transporting him to Kenya or any other African country.
He further added that he was still at an airport in Berlin but was exploring options on how he would travel to Kenya.
In an early morning interview with Hot 96’s Jeff Koinange, Miguna said the red alert referred to him as a Canadian and not a Kenyan.
The lawyer was deported in February 2018, days after his detention for his role in the mock swearing-in of Opposition leader Raila Odinga on January 30 that year.
He unsuccessfully tried to return to the country on March 26, 2018.
In a statement from Immigration Services Director General Alexander Muteshi, the State confirmed compliance with court orders issued on December 14, 2018, granting him entry.
