A woman has come forward alleging that Babu Owino, a student leader at the University of Nairobi, attempted to con her out of Ksh 500,000.
According to her, Babu Owino and his associates target women, promising them tenders due to their supposed political connections.
Allegations of Fraud ¶
The woman claims that Babu Owino and his colleagues form a cartel, inviting business people for meetings to discuss potential business deals, requesting quotations, and then demanding cash in exchange for pushing through a Local Purchase Order (LPO).
In a social media post, she warned others about Babu Owino, stating:
Do you know this Guy very well???!!! He is an International thug ever together with his colleague by the Fred(SONU Leaders). Guys be WARNED. They con business people in the name of giving them tenders. Last month, they tried to con me Ksh. 500,000 but ikaambulia patupu. They invite you for meeting for meeting discussing how they will give you business, request different quotation and then when it comes for you getting LPO, that where they will try to con you coz, they will tell you to give them some cash for them to push the LPO to be signed. Am wondering if S.O.N.U is thug training centre. I have evidence (recorded conversations) to prove it and am not afraid of him
Babu Owino's flashy lifestyle has raised questions about the source of his wealth, which he has failed to explain in past media interviews.
