Embakasi East MP has spoken out for the first time since the shooting at B Club on Friday morning.

Police have been to the scene of the crime and have released a statement.

Read it in the link below.

In his statement, Babu said, "A few weeks ago, I made a public statement regarding threats that I had been receiving against my life. At the turn of the year, I reported an attempted assassination at the Parliament Police Station under OB number OB21/17/11/2019 at 17:28hrs. I have been living under the weight of intimidation and threats by my political opponents."

Adding,

"Yesterday was the culmination of these efforts by my enemies. While enjoying the company of my friends at a popular Nairobi restaurant, I was surrounded by a large group of aggressive individuals. In the melee, there was an exchange of gunfire."

The MP then continued, "I invite the relevant authorities to conduct their investigations without fear or favor and I remain confident that the truth will come out."

The DJing community is not happy.
