His lawyer Cliff Ombeta confirmed the transfer today.
“He (Babu Owino) was transferred to the Gigiri Police Station to avoid the kind of traffic that was here yesterday….people insisting that they want to talk to him…his supporters and everybody because at that point they were interfering with investigations,” his lawyer Cliff Ombeta said on Saturday.
The lawyer also considered that authorities conducted a search in the MP`s residence in a bid to recover ammunition.
Ombeta said that Babu Oeino may be produced in court on Monday however that would depend on the condition of the victim (the DJ)
The lawyer was keen to say that there has been no indication of what the charges could be and he could no make any speculation
Ombeta also said that he is aware that the police would want to hold the MP for a longer time and that they would be moving to the court to ask for more time.
