Embakasi East Member of Parliament Paul Ongili, popularly known as Babu Owino, has issued a stern warning to NTV, demanding a public apology over a story it aired about DJ Evolve.
According to documents, the MP, through his lawyers Okatch and Partners, has threatened to take legal action against NTV for the story it ran about the DJ, whom the MP is accused of shooting and seriously injuring.
Through his lawyers, Babu Owino termed the NTV's story as an attempt to smear his name and lower his dignity in society, as DJ Evolve had never indicated that he was indeed shot by the MP.
NTV's story aired on June 29, 2020, showed DJ Evolve speaking for the first time since he was reportedly shot by the former University of Nairobi student leader.
The MP is out on bond and has given NTV a two-day ultimatum to issue a public apology, which should be aired on the national television during its prime time, failure to which he will seek legal redress against NTV.
