Kuria, now a part of the Deputy President William Ruto allied Tanga tanga movement was released on Saturday evening on a Sh20,000 police bond.
He had however been freed on a Sh50,000 cash bail by senior principal magistrate K. Cheruiyot but the court defied.
Claims have been made that his lawyers were physically assaulted by the Kilimani officers as they tried to serve them with the court order.
Others were teargassed outside the station.
