MP Babu Owino Threatens to Sue Nation Media for Interviewing DJ Evolve
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has threatened to sue Nation Media Group for interviewing Felix Orinda, also known as DJ Evolve.
This comes after NTV aired a story about DJ Evolve’s health condition following a shooting incident involving MP Owino in January this year.
Owino in a demand letter dated July 1st asked the media house to issue a public apology and air it in the prime-time news within two days, failure to which he will take legal action against the company.
“Our instructions are to demand from you which hereby do that: You run an appropriate apology in the prime-time news on your television channel (and) you give an appropriate written apology to our client. You admit liability for the slanderous libelous statements following which we shall proceed to address you on damages,” the letter by Okatch and Partners Advocates reads.
Owino noted that the story aired on NTV was meant to attack, accuse, persecute, reprimand and convict him by whipping up emotions from the public.
“That your story on the plight of Mr Orinda though noble as it shows his improved state, has been used by yourselves to attack, accuse, persecute, reprimand, convict our client in the eyes of the public. The sole intention was indeed to whip up emotions, and incite the public against our client,” the letter adds.
He also faulted NTV for concluding that he was the one who shot DJ Evolve, adding that the victim has never issued a statement regarding the incident that happened at B-Club in Nairobi on January 17th.
“That we have carefully listened and watched the said story over and over and indeed at no point has the said Felix Orinda stated that he was shot by our client. In fact, even before your news item, the said Felix Orinda has never ever stated in any forum whatsoever that he was shot by our client. The Directorate of Public prosecutions has further confirmed that in fact, Mr Orinda has never recorded a statement on the matter,” the letter reads.
Owino also dismissed CCTV footage showing him shooting Orinda, saying that it has not been admitted as evidence in court.
“Take notice that if we do not hear from you within two days from the date of this letter, we have strict and peremptory instructions to institute legal proceedings against you for slanderous and libelous defamation and also infringing on our client’s Constitutional right to a fair hearing and to be presumed innocent,” the letter states.

Only in Kenya can a person who attempted to murder someone and ended up causing grievious body injuries be threatening to sue a media house from the COMFORT of his house. Disgusting to say the least. Maraga is busy chasing young skirts with a Bible on one hand and accusing Uhuru of not releasing more money. Money for what? Hire more incompetent corrupt judges? Does justice in this case need more money from Uhuru? This is an open and shut case which can be tried by an amateur lawyer. Bure tu.

Really? This is a case of drinking bad tea! Apology for what? You are the reckless shooter who should be sued for attempted murder. You are also the one who said " I have forgiven myself "
It's the DJ and God who can forgive you. So now you don't want any media to talk to the victim? Some people!

What's this big mouth talking about? Your constitutional right my foot! What about Evolve's constitutional right to life? You have been paying this guy's hospital bills because of what you did. Your reckless and criminal behavior of going around shooting at people with a gun like the idiot that you are. By the way, the absolute defense for defamation is truth. Nation Media group and others ought to have nohthing to worry about. Your delusional law suit is dead on arrival.

Babu is used to playing as the victim when things get hot for him. To tell you the truth Babu, this time it's not working for you. People are angry and especially now you trying denie you never shot the young DJ while it happened on full eyes of the public. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Are we a country of morons? A rogue SOB who shot and maimed another human being is demanding what????? This poor guy will never be the same. This Babu is a nut job. This is a criminal case. He should be arrested for attempted murder. What an SOB? The mf is playing victim and threatening to sue. What a bunch of BS. If I was a member of the DJ's family I would demand an eye for an eye. Nothing short of that.

What the heck? To have the AUDACITY to even say he will sue shows how much IMPUNITY we have to endure as a nation. I cannot fathom how he is not behind bars on attempted murder.
Now that being said, we need a movement just like Black Lives Matter to rid ourselves of corruption and impunity in our beloved country.
I suggest Operation Tujipende.(O.T)
We have seen Kenyans in the US on rallies of BLM shouting "Haki Yetu". Let us all join hands and start this movement. Enough is enough.
Please somebody start a Facebook/social media campaign on this.
God bless.
