A strange and unknown animal has caused panic and fear at Nyachenge village in Bobasi Constituency as it terrorizes children who are in August holiday.
Esther Moraa narrated how her grade six daughter recently narrowly missed death from the animal as she returned from their neighbour’s home where she had delivered milk.
“The strange creature blocked her way but she changed the course and dashed into our home.” She said
The villagers said that the peculiar animal has caused havoc in the region and as it kills dogs at night and sucks only their blood and leave the carcasses. They are now appealing to Kenya Wildlife services ( KWS) to intervene.

They said that the animal has stayed in the area for two months and if it continues staying there it might cause more harm as it keeps on invading dogs and sheep.
Women too are in fear of going to fetch water and attend their daily chores due to the strange animal roaming the area at night
“We remain indoors and wait for rain to fall tap water for use,” said Mary Kemunto.
When Education News visited the location, men could be seen along the road reserves, tea farms and path trying to trace the animal for identification.
Dogs ran away from the men at any time they tried to use them to follow trails in a few thickets to get the peculiar animal.
