Residents of Mukindu village in Rurii location of Ol Kalou have protested after a hippo killed a calf belonging to a single mother and left the woman with a sprained ankle. Wanjiku said the hippo has been a frequent visitor at her compound at night when it terrorises her animals. Wanjiku said it is unfortunate that the hippo killed the calf worth Sh15,000 before she could complete paying for its mother. Charles Mwai said prior to going to Wanjiku’s compound, the hippo almost attacked him as he was going home at 8pm. He said once it is confirmed the calf was killed by the hippo, Wanjiku will get compensation form from their Nyahururu office.
