Mungiki, Taliban or whatever they will call themselves tomorrow, we are determined to wipe them out and we are sure we will wipe them out,” Mr Michuki, a former colonial administrator, told a news conference.

Police at a station in Nairobi paraded six men it had arrested and urged the public to help identify more suspects.

Another was perched atop a telephone pole about a kilometre away, and another was found after villagers heard two dogs fighting over it.

In Kiambu, which borders Nairobi, one head was left at a bus stop in the centre of the main town, local media said.
