The police arrived shortly after 7.40 pm and attempted to take away the lawmaker. Kameme producers did, however, ask that he is allowed to participate in the show.
In the show, Nyoro accused the Interior Minister Fred Matiang’i and his PS Karanja Kibicho of abusing their powers.
His woes started after a scuffle between himself and nominated MP Maina Kamanda on Sunday at a Catholic church in Murang’a.
