Comedian Eric Omondi has been arrested again. This time he was arrested at City Stadium where he was planning to distribute free packets of Unga to Kenyans.

In a video doing rounds, the comedian-turned-activist is seen whisked away from City Stadium by police officers with his packet of Unga.

He tries to resist arrest but the men in uniform overpowered him and drove him away from the place.

"Hii unga ni ya kusaidia wakenya wenzangu. They are hungry. Lorry zinaleta unga hapa," he said.

On Monday, Eric promised to petition President William Ruto directly on behalf of suffering citizens about the high and rising cost of living.

"Next Week Tuesday 7th March we will March to State House from Uhuru Park to Present our CVs, Rent Arrears, School Fee Arrears, Basic Goods Shopping Lists, and Electricity Bills. This Wednesday we meet at City Stadium from 11 am to 2 pm as we share a packet of Unga with everyone that intends to join us at Statehouse. We are calling upon well-wishers to donate Unga (DO NOT GIVE MONEY, JUST UNGA) If you want to donate a packet or more please Contact 0718891427 or bring the unga to City Stadium on Wednesday."

In his next post, the comedian goes ahead to request well-wishers to donate maize flour.

"This Wednesday we will be at City Stadium giving Free Packets of Unga. We are calling upon well-wishers who would wish to Donate packets of Unga to call or message 0718891427. DO NOT GIVE MONEY, JUST UNGA," he captioned.

A few weeks ago, the comedian was arrested again while leading demonstrations outside Parliament buildings in Nairobi.
