Embakasi East MP Babu Owino on Friday morning shot a DJ at B-Club in Kilimani, Nairobi after quarreling over reasons yet to be known, police say.

According to a report filed at the Kilimani Police Station by B-Club’s security manager, George Otieno, Babu Owino whipped out his gun and fired a bullet in Felix Orinda’s neck at 7am inside the nightspot.

Police say that Orinda, who was critically injured, was taken to Nairobi Hospital for emergency care by B-Club’s management.
