Why Kenyans are rallying behind Omar Lali’s release against Babu Owino’s arrest

Tecra Muigai’s boyfriend, Omar Lali is battling for his freedom after his rearrest and charge by a Lamu Court yesterday, over the murder of the late Keroche heiress in May.

According to the DPP, there is enough evidence to proceed with plea taking as Mr Omar’s case is set for mentioning today, July 14.

However, that isn’t even the bone of contention.

What has angered Kenyans the most is just how the 54-year old Lamu native’s case that has been struggling with evidence, seems to be grabbing all the attention.

While the dragged Babu Owino-DJ Evolve’s case never seems to be making headway despite the bulk of evidence reportedly present.

Background

Babu Owino was implicated in attempted murder following an almost fatal shooting at Nairobi’s B Club in January 2020 that left Felix Orinda, born DJ Evolve, bed-ridden.

The Embakasi East MP got arrested but later released on controversial bond terms challenged by the DPP that only stalled soon as Covid-19 hit the country.

DJ Evolve meanwhile spent at least 5 months admitted in Nairobi hospital where he underwent a couple of surgeries before getting discharged in June as he receives home-based care.

Reactions

Taking the issue head-on soon after Omar Lali got charged with murder, Kenyans felt remorse for the “poor” man whose pockets cannot allow him freedom like Babu Owino.
