DJ Evolve’s family opposes Babu Owino’s release on bail

The family of Felix Orinda popularly known as DJ Evolve, who was shot and seriously wounded by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, has opposed the release of the lawmaker on bond/bail.

In a bail assessment report presented in court on Monday, the family says it is majorly concerned about the security of their son and that of other family members.

It is the family’s view that Babu Owino “wields a lot of power and may use the same to subvert justice.”

“Their plea to the court is that if the same is granted, other protective measures should be instituted to ensure the security of the victim, family and also to safeguard against witness interference,” reads part of the report.

The 25-year-old DJ is admitted at the Critical Care Unit at Nairobi Hospital where he is nursing a gunshot on the neck. The court was told that at the moment, the victim cannot move his hands and legs.
