Babu Owino, the Chairman of the UoN students body, Inset; Marine One

The joke in town is that outspoken University of Nairobi (UoN) students' leader Babu Owino is not wanted in Kenyatta University (KU) where President Obama will be making an address to students on Sunday.

A source within the KU students' body told Pulse that the university was not comfortable having Babu in KU during the Obama visit.

Last week, President Uhuru Kenyatta told the vocal students' leader off after he (Owino) wrote a letter to the US ambassador in Kenya claiming that at least 18 students had threatened to commit suicide if Obama does not visit UoN.
