DJ Evolve Denies Seeing Babu Owino Shoot Him
DJ Evolve, who was shot in the neck by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino in January 2020, has told a court that he did not see the MP shoot him.
Testifying virtually from his bed, DJ Evolve told Senior Principal Magistrate Bernard Ochoi that he was having a conversation with Mr Owino when he was shot. He said that he did not see Mr Owino with a gun, and that he did not know what happened.
DJ Evolve’s testimony was corroborated by Mr Owino’s bodyguard, Edwin Gedi Otieno, who said that Mr Owino deposited his gun and nine rounds of ammunition in the club’s armoury before entering the club.
Mr Owino is facing charges of attempted murder, and his case is ongoing.
DJ Evolve’s testimony is a significant development in the case against Babu Owino. If DJ Evolve is telling the truth, it would mean that Mr Owino did not shoot him intentionally. However, it is also possible that DJ Evolve is mistaken, or that he is not telling the whole truth.
The case against Mr Owino is still ongoing, and it will be up to the court to decide whether he is guilty of attempted murder. However, DJ Evolve’s testimony has certainly cast doubt on the prosecution’s case.
