Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino now says he is now living under the weight of intimidation and threats by political opponents.
This follows his arrest on Friday over claims he shot a Dj at B Club in Nairobi on Thursday.
“A few weeks ago, I made a public statement regarding threats that I had been receiving against my life. At the turn of the year, I reported an attempted assassination at the Parliament Police Station under OB number OB21/17/11/2019 at 17:28hrs,” he issued a statement on Friday.
The ODM MP further said he has been living under the weight of intimidation and threats by my political opponents.
“Yesterday was the culmination of these efforts by my enemies. While enjoying the company of my friends at a popular Nairobi restaurant, I was surrounded by a large group of aggressive individuals. In the melee, there was an exchange of gunfire,” added the first term Embakasi East ODM party MP.
Owino invited relevant authorities to conduct their investigations without fear or favor and I remain confident that the truth will come out.
He called on his supporters to remain calm as he continues to serve them.
