NAIROBI, Kenya, June, 22- DJ Elvove, also known as Felix Orinda, who was allegedly shot by Member of Parliament Babu Owino in 2020, has testified in court that he did not see the legislator with a firearm on that particular day.
While giving his testimony on Thursday as a defence witness in the case, the DJ said he does not know what happened to him because he found himself in an ambulance
The DJ stated that Babu Owino has been supporting him in paying his hospital bills and has been a friend. However, he acknowledged that he was shot and injured by a bullet on that day.
“Did you see Babu Owino with a gun?” Defence lawyer Duncan Okatch asked DJ Evolve, to which he responded saying; “No, we were just having conversations.”
He went ahead to add, “I was injured by a bullet but I don’t know from which gun…I just found myself in a vehicle to hospital…I came to find out that Babu Owino was supporting me and as a friend I expected my friends to look after me.”
“I received medical care…my utilities and general well-being was taken care of…I’m giving out this testimony voluntarily,” he added.
Babu Owino’s private protection officer and personal assistant, Edwin Otieno, testified that prior to the incident, the MP’s firearm had a problem and Owino had informed him that it had jammed at the shooting range.
Last week, Babu Owino testified that he has been taking care of his bills and hospital treatment which has amounted to Ksh 58.6 million.
The MP said the amount include a Ksh.17 million apartment in Kilimani, medical services accruing to Ksh.23 million, monthly Ksh.70,000 upkeep, and other expenses.
