Saturday, May 28, 2022 –A rare incident took place in Butsotso Kakamega County last Friday when bees were sent by a witchdoctor to nab notorious thieves in a local village.

The bees, according to our sources, went down hunting for the suspects and brought them to the owner at Emusanda Village in Kakamega.

The three thieves – Hillary Momanyi (22), John Bukhazio (28), and Winston Mutiele (20) – had to voluntarily return the stolen loot – a goat and a calf – after they were attacked by the swarm of bees allegedly on the command of the witchdoctor whose identity is yet to be made public.

Those who witnessed the drama recounted to Homenews.co.ke that the three suspects were reportedly mooing and bleating during the entire ordeal as members of the public milled around them.

Citizen Digital on Saturday May 28 reported that the area police confirmed how the owner, 42-year-old Tolibert Imbiakah, sought out the services of the witchdoctor after waking up one morning only to find that his farm animals had been stolen under the cover of darkness.

“The witch doctor visited the man’s compound and conducted some rituals at the enclosure while mumbling some incantations, then left telling the owner not to worry as the thugs would come looking for him after two days,” the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said in a statement.

“True to his words, today at 10am, their hands mobbed by swarms of bees as they carried the animals aloft bleating and mooing rhythmically.”

The three are currently under police custody for charges.
