Lost your property? Call a witchdoctor
More people are turning to witchcraft to seek restitution after their property is stolen.
A suspected cattle thief was subjected to such treatment in Ukwala, Siaya District after residents found him chewing grass.
And after his arrest, local DC Boaz Cherutich and OCPD Johnston Ipara visited Ugunja Police Post to witness the rare spectacle.
The incident was sparked by the theft of five head of cattle in Nyamasare village last Friday. This led the owner to enlist the services of a witchdoctor.
Police had a hectic time controlling wananchi who wanted to get a glimpse of the suspect, a dazed houseboy who could hardly stand on his feet.
The DC, who had dismissed the surreal claims that the man had been chewing grass, ordered the police to force open the suspect’s mouth. On inspection, pieces of grass were found.
The owner of the animals, Ambrose Amoth, 67, said he was confident the suspect would disclose where his precious cattle had been taken.
Amoth explained he had travelled to Bungoma where he paid Sh16,000 to a witchdoctor to work his magic.
