A 15-year-old Class Eight pupil is nursing injuries after he was attacked and seriously injured by a hippopotamus at Nyamnwa Beach in Bondo sub-county. Austin Onyango is said to have been attacked by the rogue hippo and seriously mauled on the leg. The boy was treated at the Bondo sub-county hospital and discharged to go back home where he is nursing injuries. Early this month, a hippopotamus attacked and drag a child to his death in Lake Victoria as screaming crowds desperately pelted the animal with rocks. In June, a nine-year-old boy was attacked by a hippopotamus at Nyamagonglo beach in Bondo Sub-County on Saturday evening.
