The release of the footage follows earlier statements from both politicians, each offering differing versions of the incident. Embakasi East MP Babu Owino had earlier claimed he was physically assaulted and later filed a police report, describing the encounter as a serious threat to his safety. Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai, on the other hand, has strongly denied the allegations, insisting that the situation was exaggerated and misrepresented.
NTV’s decision to air the CCTV footage has added a new dimension to the unfolding story, with many Kenyans closely analysing the visuals in an attempt to piece together the sequence of events. Legal experts have noted that such footage could play a critical role in ongoing investigations by providing objective evidence.
Police have confirmed that the matter remains under active investigation, and both parties are expected to record further statements. No official charges have been announced so far.
The incident has reignited discussions around the conduct of public officials in social spaces and the growing use of surveillance footage in resolving high-profile disputes.
