Babu Owino Allegedly Pays KSh600,000 for DJ Evolve’s Treatment

Embattled Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili, popularly known as Babu Owino, has reportedly paid Felix Orinda’s medical bill at Nairobi Hospital.

A senior Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officer, who declined to be mentioned, told K24 Digital that Babu paid at least KSh600,000 for Orinda’s treatment at the hospital. Orinda, aka DJ Evolve, was rushed to Nairobi Hospital on Friday morning after he was allegedly shot by Babu on the neck at the popular B-Club in Nairobi’s Kilimani suburb. 

He underwent emergency surgery to remove the bullet that was lodged in his neck and s second operation to remove a blood clot, according to radio presenter Joe Muchiri.

“DJ Evolve has left a successful surgery. Now we sit tight and wait for the recovery process to begin, it’s not an easy journey especially when nerves are involved. I wish him all the best at this time,” said Muchiri.
Babu was arrested and booked at Kilimani Police Station pending investigations into the 7 am incident but his lawyer Cliff Ombeta on Saturday said he was later moved to Gigiri Police Station.

“He was transferred to the Gigiri Police Station to avoid the kind of traffic that was here yesterday….people insisting that they want to talk to him…his supporters and everybody because at that point they were interfering with investigations,” Ombeta said.

CCTV footage from the nightclub shows Babu, who is dressed in an orange t-shirt, smoking what appears like Shisha with an unidentified man and a woman standing beside him.

Babu is then seen drawing a gun and shooting a man, who falls on the floor as other revelers scamper for safety. The 15-second video clip ends with two unidentified men carrying the victim outside the entertainment joint.
