you cant. because browser and CLI is treated as different user.
this like you want destroy firefox session with your chrome session.
if you really to do that. you can delete your browser cache to destroy your browser session using CLI

Delete the contents of the specified folder:
$ rm -Rf /var/lib/php/session/*
Now all of the current user sessions should be cleared. If you store sessions in the DB or memory, you will need to clear the sessions manually via whatever software you use for session management.

@XtreemDeveloper
And then what happens if he has sessions that are active?
You should never just tell someone to delete a folder without first telling
them to make a backup of that folder!
Also you can delete the sessions by checking to see if they are active using
a CodeIgniter method, because i wrote one for checking the database sessions.

CI2 sessions relied exclusively on cookies, so no - not possible.
Yet another reason to upgrade.
