DJ Shot by MP Babu Owino Discharged After Four Months in the Hospital

Felix Orinda, alias DJ Evolve, has been discharged from the Nairobi Hospital four months after he was shot and wounded by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.

Orinda was admitted to the hospital in critical condition after he was shot on the neck by MP Owino at B-Club in Nairobi’s Kilimania area on January 17th.

Orinda, through Instagram on Saturday, May 16th, said: “Still have a long way to go but I’ll be back…thank you all for the well wishes💯.”

B-Club, where he works, also announced via Instagram that he was out of the hospital and was looking forward to having him back.

“Welcome back home king @dj_evolve (lowkey assasin), we can’t wait to dance to your vibe once this lockdown is over,” the club wrote on Instagram page.

In an interview with Milele FM’s Jalang’o on April 30th, Owino said Orinda was discharged from the ICU but he was yet to go home due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

He noted that he fully paid Orinda’s hospital bill amounting to Sh15 million, adding that his friendship with the disk jockey was not affected by the shooting incident.

“The thing that happened is between me and God and I chose to forgive myself. I have been paying the bills and I settled them, Sh15 million. DJ Evolve is waiting to go home as he was discharged from the Intensive Care Unit to the wards. He cannot go home yet due to the Coronavirus pandemic,” said Owino.

He added: “DJ Evolve is a personal friend and no one can come in between us. Everybody has their own challenges and no woman nor man should judge me. I will not take it lightly.”

Owino was arrested and arraigned in court following the shooting incident that left Orinda fighting for his life.

He pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder and disorderly behavior while carrying a firearm and was freed on a cash bail of Sh5 million.
