Two of Kenya's top artistes were arrested on Sunday night and bundled into a police van by NEMA. Their mistake was performing at an event hosted at Marquee Sky Bar & Lounge, in Westlands.

Drummer Amani Baya and guitarist Jack Muguna spent Sunday night at Central Police Station.

Nairobi Horns Project trumpeter, MacKinlay Mutsembi said, "They were sitting on a band stand when NEMA raided our gig for trumped up noise pollution charges. No music was playing. I'm out because I had just put my horn down. Equipment, my horns, their guitars, sound, was all confiscated. I'm still trying to get them released. It's so hard making an honest living in this town sometimes..."

MacKinlay Mutsembi added, "They say even cash bail can't release them after 6pm. Anyways I'm here squabbling with them. Let's see how it goes."
