Babu owino has explained why he was arrested.
In a Facebook post he explained that his arrest was to do with an election petition which is currently in court.
Here is what he shared on his Facebook page.
"My arrest is as a result of a deep conspiracy involving Jubilee govt , Mr Francis Mureithi and Director of Criminal Investigations Nairobi County Mr Kamwende on realisation that we are going to win the petition against my victory on 8/8/2017. Mr Kamwende who is in charge of CID operations in Nairobi is acting under orders from Statehouse having received a bribe of Ksh 200 000 from my former opponent Mr Francis Mureithi at Sankara Hotel at around 3:30PM today!"
Babu owino will spend the night in the cells until Monday when he will be taken to court.
