DJ Shot by MP Babu Owino Develops Health Complications

Felix Orinda, alias DJ Evolve, who was shot on the neck by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino on January 17th, has reportedly developed complications.

Orinda is presently hospitalized at The Nairobi Hospital’s ICU wing after he underwent two successful surgeries to remove a blood clot as well as a bullet that was lodged in his neck.

He was scheduled for a third surgery on January 20th to realign his upper spine but it was stopped after he allegedly developed trachea complications, according to one of his closest friends Mike Lukulu.

“The surgery to realign his upper spine that was scheduled to take place on Monday was put on hold after Felix suddenly developed tracheostomy (trachea) complications,” Lukulu posted on social media.

He further disclosed that doctors were forced to perform tracheal surgery before the Chiropractic one. 

“The lead surgeon has thus recommended for a tracheal surgery prior to the chiropractic adjustment (spine surgery) taking place. Jesus is at the wheel. All will be well,” he added.

Babu, who is still in remand pending a ruling on his bail application, shot and wounded Orinda at B-Club in Nairobi’s Kilimani area on the morning of January 17th. Babu’s lawyer Cliff Ombeta said the MP had paid over KSh600,000 for Orinda’s treatment.
