September 20, 2017 6:15 PM

The newly-elected Embakasi MP was accused of dropping the bees at Supreme Court.

This is was by blogger Robert Alai who wrote: “Babu Owino brought the bees which he unleashed on Jubilee supporters in front of Supreme Court.”

Alai’s statement comes a few hours after police, journalists and protesters outside the Supreme Court were dispersed by some livid bees.

According to journalists on the ground, the attack came after someone poked the hive during a spat between NASA and Jubilee supporters, leaving 2 people including the Lang’ata police boss and a person living with disability seriously injured.

Babu Owino, however, denies being involved in the incident. Speaking to Edaily Babu asked: “If supporters of the ruling coalition had gone to cause chaos outside the Supreme Court of Kenya, and a swarm of bees attacked them, how am I to blame?”

His alibi is backed up by Citizen TV’s Hassan Mugambi who said that the Embakasi MP was nowhere near the court during the attack.
