Bonface was charged with Milimani Law Courts Resident Magistrate Muthoni Nzibe for trying to smuggle his daughter out of KNH on February 16 this year. 

Appearing before the magistrate, Bonface accepted his crime. 

He however revealed that he couldn’t raise the Sh56,937 his daughter had accumulated at the facility. 

Kenyans on social media who heard his story came out in large numbers asking to help pay all that he was being asked by the hospital and court. 

It was this that prompted Babu Owino to come out and save this “hero father.”

He assigned a lawyer, a Mr Peter Omingo, to represent Mr Murage. 

He further revealed that he was going to settle all the expenses from his pocket. 

“As soon as we have made sure he is released, we will then head to the hospital in question and settle all the incurred expenses and reunite him (Mr. Murage) with his family,” said the outspoken legislator.

After saving Mr. Murage from the court, Mr. Owino will head to the hospital where the accused wife and daughter are being held and settle all the bills.
