Babu Owino did not appear in court today because he had “succumbed to chest pains”, according to his lawyer, who then insisted that Babu needed medical treatment for this.
However, his lawyer’s efforts were in vain after it was ordered that Babu Owino be treated at the Industrial Area Remand Prison where he waits for bail, and not at a private hospital.
