Hyenas Maul 9-Year-Old To Death In Kenya
Category: Bizarre & Strange News
Shock has hit Nyacaba village in Juja, Kiambu County, Kenya after a pack
of hyenas mauled a nine-year-old child to death sending locals into panic
mood.
The deceased, a grade 3 male pupil at a private school in
the village, was reported missing on Thursday evening only for his clothes to
be found dumped in a nearby bush today, September 3, 2022.
According to Gideon Nderitu, a resident, the child identified as
Njoroge Mariga is reported to have disappeared from the house on Thursday
night when his mother, a doctor, was working.
His clothes are
reported to have been found by quarry workers who were reporting to work early
in the morning.
Residents led by Mary Muthoni and Martin Mwaura, a bishop regretted that
the incident left them in fear as they could no longer walk at night.
In their speeches, they reported that three more hyenas were
spotted today roaming in the village.
Worried that Kenya Wildlife
Services (KWS) officers have been doing less to contain the situation despite
making numerous requests to have the animals ejected out of the village, the
locals agitated for prompt interventions to avert further crisis.
“It is very sad that we have lost an innocent child to wild
animals yet we have a government and officers mandated to ensure that the
harmful animals remain in the forest. We cannot cope with what we have seen
today,” Muthoni regretted.
“We are tired now, we do not want to
experience these cases anymore,” Bishop Mwaura added.
