Embakasi East Member of Parliament, Babu Owino, has been acquitted in the high-profile case involving the shooting of Felix Orinda, widely known as DJ Evolve.
Verdict Delivered: In a significant ruling, Milimani senior principal magistrate Bernard Ochoi declared that the prosecution's case against Babu Owino fell short of proving the charges brought against him.
Charges Dismissed: The embattled MP had faced charges of firearm misuse and disorderly conduct in relation to the incident.
Key Testimony: Babu Owino's case saw a pivotal turn when DJ Evolve, while testifying under oath, stated that he did not witness the parliamentarian at the time of the shooting.
Crucial Testimony: Despite admitting that he was shot in January 2020, DJ Evolve acknowledged in court that he was unable to identify the shooter or the firearm used.
Legal Outcome: The acquittal of Babu Owino comes as a result of the court's assessment that the prosecution failed to establish the allegations against him in the shooting incident involving DJ Evolve.
The verdict marks a significant conclusion to a case that had captured public attention and raised questions about accountability and justice.
