MP Babu Owino Arrested for Allegedly Shooting a DJ at B-Club in Nairobi

Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili, alias Babu Owino, was on Friday morning arrested for allegedly shooting a DJ at B-Club in Nairobi’s Kilimani area.

Owino is said to have shot the man identified as Felix Orinda, aka DJ Evolve, on the neck after quarreling over reasons that are yet to be known, according to police. In a report filed at Kilimani Police Station, B-Club’s security manager, George Otieno said Owino drew his firearm and fired at Orinda at 7am inside the popular entertainment joint.

Orinda was rushed to Nairobi Hospital for emergency care by B-Club’s management and Owino was arrested at the hospital, where he had allegedly gone to see his alleged victim.

“He then drew his pistol and shot the DJ on the neck. The victim was rushed to Nairobi Hospital in serious condition by the management of the club,” the report reads in part.

Owino is currently being held at Kilimani Police Station pending investigations into the incident, Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said on Twitter.

“DCI officers are currently probing the matter, and the suspect will be arraigned once the investigations are concluded,” Nairobi police boss Philip Ndolo said.

Police said the gun and cartridge Owino used in the alleged attack was yet to be recovered.
