A Canadian-Kenyan political activist, now back in Toronto, claims he was injected with “poison” in Nairobi before being flown unconscious to Dubai.

Speaking after a visit to a Toronto hospital for what he said were toxicology tests, Miguna Miguna said he intends to return to Kenya as soon as possible to “continue the struggle.”

Despite his claims that his treatment from Canadian officials abroad was substandard, Global Affairs Canada insists it has worked closely with his family to ensure his safety at all times.

A self-declared general of the National Revolutionary Movement of Kenya, Miguna says he was drugged and forcibly removed from his homeland after being held against his will in a Nairobi airport toilet.

“I wouldn’t say I’m OK, but I’m here,” he said by phone Monday from Richmond Hill, Ont., where he has a permanent home.

On Facebook earlier Monday, Miguna described recent events as an “illegal and violent abduction, torture and chemical poisoning by the tyrannical Jubilee regime.”
