MP Babu Owino is a Good Man and is Supporting My Son, DJ Evolve’s Dad Says

John Orinda, the father to DJ Evolve, has come to the defense of Embakasi East MP Babu Owino amid backlash from Kenyans online.

Addressing the media on Thursday, Mr. Orinda described MP Owino as a “good man” despite the fact that he nearly shot dead his son in January this year.

He stated that the first-time MP has been in constant communication with the family following the shooting incident that left DJ Evolve paralyzed and unable to do anything by himself.

Evolve spent six months at the Nairobi Hospital, where he underwent multiple surgeries and was discharged two weeks ago to recuperate at home.

Mr. Orinda said MP Owino has been supportive and is catering for all medical expenses incurred by his son including purchasing drugs and paying nurses.

“Vile aliingia kwa nyumba naona iko improvement na iko dawa analetewa, yule anayeleta hizo dawa ni Babu Owino. Nurses wako naye mchana na usiku na hao pia ni Babu Owino aliprovide. Naona kama Babu Owino si mtu mbaya sana ingawa hatujakutana naye tuongee lakini hajapotea,” he said.

Babu is accused of shooting the entertainer on the neck at B-Club in Kilimani, Nairobi on January 17th. He was charged with attempted murder and was freed on Sh5 million after pleading not guilty.
