Babu Owino, the leader of the Student Organization of Nairobi University (SONU), has offered a bounty of KSh 35,000 for each finger of three individuals he claims are radicalizing students on tribal grounds.
Owino alleged that the three men, Dann Mwangi, Karumba Frank, and Ian Kagiri, are masquerading as students and holding secret GEMA meetings within the university premises, contrary to institutional policies. He claimed that powerful politicians sponsor them.
In a post on the New Comrades Forum social media profile, Owino instructed his followers to deal with the three men and offered the bounty for their fingers. The post sparked a range of reactions from commentators, with some condemning Owino's actions and others supporting him.
