A magistrate's court was yesterday treated to a circus as it released Embakasi East MP Babu Owino on a Sh100,000 cash bail or Sh200,000 bond.

Before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina read his ruling on whether the State had made a case to detain Babu alongside his co-accused Calvince Otieno, Tom Odongo, Michael Otieno, Pascal Ouma, Kelvin Wambo and Willy Owino, lawyer Ndegwa Njiru told the court that he had a grave issue he wanted to raise.
