MP Babu Owino Reports Alleged Assassination Attempt to Police

Embakasi East Member of Parliament Paul Ongili, alias Babu Owino, claims that there is an attempt to assassinate him. 

Babu recorded a statement at Parliament Police Station on Sunday claiming that unknown people tried to assassinate him on Saturday.

Babu said that four people driving a saloon car have consistently trailed him day and night over the last few months.

“Over the past couple of months, I have been on the receiving end of hateful abuse and indeed threats against my life for my outspoken brand of politics,” said Babu.

He added: “I am known for speaking out in defense of ordinary people without fear or favor. This seems to be rubbing some people in high places the wrong way. Regardless, I have done my duty to the people fearlessly and will continue to do so until the Lord calls me home.”

He asked Inspector-General of Police Hillary Mutyambai to speed up investigations into the alleged attempt on his life and bring the suspects to book.

“I will not stop. I shall not stop. Death comes to us all and I know mine will eventually come. I am not afraid of dying for my beliefs and in service to my people,” noted Babu.
