Police may have succeeded in locking up Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino for two days, but amazingly the controversial legislator still managed to keep his supporters updated on his situation behind bars.
More remarkable was how the MP even managed to keep his ears on the ground during his 48-hour incarceration and getting hold of information on the supposed mechanization of his captors and detractors.
During his 48-hour stay at Parklands Police Station, Owino, real name Paul Ongili, posted nine tweets on his official Twitter page.
But whether the police granted him access to his phone from behind bars or the posts were made on his handle by a pseudo user remains unclear.
I would love to thank all patriots who have just stormed Parklands Police Station to demand for my release . Mr Kamwende arrested me on a Friday with clear intention of having me behind bars for the whole weekend before trial on Monday. We will emerge stronger than before pic.twitter.com/PXxiQ6rJh8

In some of the tweets, Owino accused the police of working together with his political opponent Francis Muriethi in fabricating evidence to use against him in a petition challenging his election victory.
PLAN TO RIG ME OUT IN PROGRESS!
Jubilee Government Operatives led by DCIO Nairobi County Mr Kamwende in liaison with one Francis Mureithi who is currently challenging my victory have just broken into the warehouse where ballot boxes are stored at Industrial Area. .— Babu Owino (@Babu_Owino) January 20, 2018
The aforementioned individuals are in possession of new seals similar to the ones used by IEBC on 8/8/2017 and ballot papers marked Francis Mureithi.

Their intention is to stuff ballot papers and re-seal the ballot boxes after which they will blackmail Justice Sergon who is currently handling my case to order for re count of votes in Embakasi East MP Petition case.

Owino was released from custody on a free bond on Sunday afternoon following the intervention of Nairobi senator Johnson Sakaja and other political leaders.
Sakaja undertook to produce Owino in court on Monday.
