A ruling will be delivered on February 14 on whether Sonu chairman Babu Owino has a case to answer in respect to incitement to violence charges. During the last hearing, all witnesses, including police officers, denied hearing Babu (pictured) uttering hate speech remarks on June 13, 2016, at Orange House in Nairobi county. Other officers told the court there was pressure to have Babu arrested. The Sonu leader faces charges of making offensive remarks at Orange House on June 13, 2016, warning Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria against threatening Cord leader Raila Odinga. The officers said their role in the case was to arrest Babu at the University of Nairobi after they received instructions from their boss.
