Life in the Orinda household has been forever changed since Felix Orinda, a.k.a. DJ Evolve, was shot in the neck at point-blank range by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino on January 17.
After spending six months in the hospital receiving treatment, DJ Evolve was recently discharged and is recuperating at home.
However, his mother is not pleased about his discharge, as she believes her son still needs medical attention due to being paralyzed from the waist down.
In an exclusive interview with NTV's Dan Mwangi on June 29, 2020, DJ Evolve and his mother opened up about life after the shooting.
"On that fateful day (sigh). I am very emotional I do not want to talk about him. When I got the report that my son got an accident at his place of work, I was shocked and I felt everything has turned upside down. But I went to God and told him it has already happened but I pray he will stand by me and that he will save my son," Evole's mother emotionally spoke.
The mother, who requested anonymity, revealed that she quit her job since DJ Evolve was shot to take care of him.
"Since the day of the incident, I quit my job to take care of my son. We have just been depending on well wishers for survival," she said during the interview.
She also stated that she has never seen the legislator and would not wish to talk about the matter, for now.
"Due to the pain (in my heart), I cannot talk. I just talk to my God. My son's life has been destroyed. (I hope to get) justice for my kid. Only that," she said.
It's worth noting that Babu Owino was able to pay the Ksh 7 million hospital bill as ordered by the court, and is facing attempted murder charges for the shooting.
