A herd of elephants has terrorised Syumukei village of Mumoni Ward in Mwingi North constituency leaving two residents with serious injuries. Tension and fear has gripped the areas as people flee and scampered to safety in the wake of the attack by the jumbos.
An elderly lady and a middle-aged man sustained serious injuries including broken limps when the beasts charged on them as they tried to drive them from the ares.
Area MCA Titus Kasinga confirmed the presence of the jumbos in his Mumoni ward. He told MWINGI TIMES that they had roamed the area and the neighbourhood for the last few days.
Hon Kasinga has issued an advisory to the residents warning them to keep away from the animals which were still in the area by the time of going to press. The MCA has called upon the Kenya Wildlife Service, KWS, to provide an helicopter to make surveillance of the invasion more efficient. "I have requested that KWS does provide an helicopter if possible to make it more easier for the KWS officers to drive away the animals back to their dwellings", said the local legislator.
