Justice Delayed for DJ Evolve ¶
It's been over two years since DJ Evolve was shot in the neck by Embakasi MP Paul Ongili Babu Owino, and the case is still ongoing. The delay in justice has sparked outrage among Kenyans, who are demanding accountability for the attempted murder.
According to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), the process has stalled due to the victim's inability to record a statement. The DPP stated that the victim, who was in pain and overwhelmed after the incident, was unable to provide a statement at the time.
However, this explanation has not sat well with many Kenyans, who are questioning the police's handling of the case. Some have pointed out that journalists have been able to interview the victim, raising questions about why the police cannot take his statement.
The case has sparked a social media campaign, with many Kenyans using the hashtag #DjEvolveLifesMatter to demand justice for the victim. The campaign has gained momentum, with many calling for Babu Owino to be held accountable for his actions.
As the case continues to drag on, Kenyans are left wondering when justice will be served. The delay in justice has sparked outrage and frustration, and many are demanding that the authorities take action to ensure that the victim receives the justice he deserves.
