Kenyan opposition adviser detained ahead of mock inauguration protest
Kenya's main opposition group says police have detained one of its advisers ahead of a planned protest ceremony.
The ceremony is planned to be a mock inauguration of Raila Odinga as president.
Mr Odinga's National Super Alliance said in a statement that the detained man, economist David Ndii, was recently appointed chairman of a committee organising the protest event on December 12.
The statement said police arrested Mr Ndii on Sunday in Diani on Kenya's Indian Ocean coast.
A police official confirmed Mr Ndii was being questioned by detectives.
Mr Odinga successfully challenged President Uhuru Kenyatta's August re-election in court but then boycotted a rerun vote in October, demanding electoral reforms.
Mr Kenyatta won with 98% of the votes and was inaugurated last week.
