The lawyer further added that the MP later on realised that the person was his close friend.

Mr. Ombeta who appeared to be keen on the choice of his words, avoided linking the legislator directly to the shooting but instead pointed out that Babu Owino reacted after being approached.

Earlier reports had indicated that there was a confrontation at the club leading to the shooting incident which took place on Friday morning.

"This morning, and this is the information I am getting, is that a person who eventually he realised was his friend somehow approached him in a way that was unexpected, and Babu reacted. I can only say he reacted and let me not say anything else beyond that, and eventually somebody was shot," Ombeta told Citizen TV.

Reports from The Standard indicated that the Babu Owino and Dj Evolve were close friends.

In a CCTV footage of the incident at the club, a person believed to be Babu Owino is seen drawing his gun before shooting another person.

B club, where the incident took place, has a strict policy that prohibits people from entering the club with firearms. So it is not known how Owino managed to get into the club with a firearm.

Babu Owino was arrested on Friday morning at Nairobi Hospital where he had reportedly taken the victim of the shooting for treatment.
