ReutersNAIROBI, April 21 (Reuters) - A British journalist and Kenyan colleague have been arrested and interviewed by Nairobi anti-terror officers for filming a police station while researching a story on disputed terror arrests.
Dan Edge and Susan Kurumba were taken into custody on Friday under suspicion of "terror-related activity" for shooting footage of the outside of Kileleshwa police station in the capital of the east African nation, their companies said.
"The arresting officer completely overreacted by confiscating their tapes and calling the anti-terrorism police," said John Gatibaru, general manager of local production company Vivid Features, which employs Kurumba.

The pair "have got all the relevant required filming permits ... they have got everything they need to be working in the country," a spokeswoman for Channel Four in London said.
