Babu Owino's DJ Evolve Case Nears Settlement ¶
July 7, 2021 - A court handling the case of Felix Orinda, popularly known as DJ Evolve, was told today that the family of the DJ and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino are in talks to have the attempted murder case against the MP withdrawn.
The prosecution informed the court that DJ Evolve's family and Babu Owino have made 'tremendous progress' in their engagements, with only a few remaining documents needed to facilitate an out-of-court settlement.
The court set the matter to be heard on July 28, 2021, where the court will give further directions on the attempted murder case.
Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino was released on January 27, 2020, on a cash bail of Ksh10 million after being charged with the attempted murder of DJ Evolve.
At the time, DJ Evolve stated that the family had agreed to drop the case through his lawyer and focus on getting better.
However, the prosecution responded by saying that they need time to establish the motivation behind the DJ's sudden change of tune before the charges could be withdrawn.
