Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has arrived at the Milimani Law Court ahead of his arraignment today over graft charges at City Hall.

Sonko was transferred from the EACC headquarters under tight police security and arrived at the Milimani Law Court at exactly 7.55 am.

A contingent of heavily armed security personnel has been deployed around the court with the roads leading to the area sealed off and traffic re-directed to other adjacent roads.

Sonko on Sunday urged his supporters to remain calm as he deals with his situation following his arrest in Voi last Friday.

Police have warned his supporters planning to demonstrate that they will be dealt with accordingly.

Sonko was arrested on Friday arrested over different charges among them money laundering services.

Sonko was arrested by DCI detectives in Voi a few hours after the Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji ordered for his arrest.
