Stay away from negative people they have a problem for every solution.Happy tibimized year
The incident has been trending online all morning after the news of Babu’s arrest broke. The alleged shooting comes just hours after the popular youth politician posted a cryptic message insinuating that trigger happy.
“This time Raila will be the President by ballot or bullet,” Babu Owino wrote on his Twitter page.
The shooting incident accompanied by the cryptic twitter message has rubbed KOT the wrong way and they have come out guns blazing to rebuke his actions.
Cyprian Nyakundi said, “Babu Owino should resign. His moral conduct betrays him; I wonder what Eastlands residents saw.”
“You all expected Babu Owino to work and deliver, jokes on you. He camps at clubs on weekdays.,” Twitter user @Tonnie-tash wrote.

Babu Owino hasn't stopped the hooliganism that he was going in UoN. I have never been a fan of the chap since the day I saw him unleash goons to beat up Mike Jacobs. He has been Arrested in a connection to a shooting that happened at B-Club last night. Shame on such 'Leaders'.🙄

That moment when your government is unable to kill demonstrating locusts who are violently stealing from our gardens but is very effective in killing unarmed demonstrating citizens who are just crying for development. ..🤔🤔🤔

Babu Owino is a candid description of a sycophant. Now that he knows he is in the government, he can say whatever he wants to say. This tells us how Raila and his infantry will be f*cking us when they ascend to Power!

People like babu owino ruin the few chances that raila has for the presidency. A single statement just turned my neutral stand on raila back to default settings of hate. Meanwhile #ruto must be the president. pic.twitter.com/lt9DiTY8yD

Babu Owino says that "Baba shall be president by ballot or by Bullet" what he fails to understand is that if he is to win by bullet, the Muzzle could be pointed at his ass…!

The likes of Babu Owino are not for the Kenyan youth. Just see how fast he turned against the just cause only to be an Uhuru & Raila lapdog. Right now Mr Paul is out INSULTING everyone calling out Uhuru Kenyatta's government for NON-PERFORMANCE. Ridiculous. A disgrace to youths.
