The capture comes after multiple attempts by KWS to trap the wild animal, which had been preying on cattle, goats, and sheep in the area.<\/p>\n

Since July, KWS has been setting traps in Lichota following residents\u2019 complaints about the presence of wild animals and the threat posed by the hyena invasion.<\/p>\n

Stephen Kaunda, a local resident, revealed that the hyena\u2019s presence had caused them sleepless nights, forcing them to stay awake to protect their livestock.<\/p>\n

Residents commended KWS\u2019s efforts, particularly as schools reopened for the third term.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur young students attend school early in the morning, and a roaming hyena could have posed a serious danger,\u201d said Kaunda.<\/p>\n

In response to the issue, Migori County has allocated funds and set plans in motion to fence off the Lichota forest.<\/p>\n

This initiative aims to prevent wild animals, such as hyenas, from encroaching into residential areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
