Accompanied by area acting Assistant Chief Alexander Nyakenyua, Nyumba Kumi officials had just started destroying litres of chang'aa when the woman stealthily tip-toed and hit Mr Nyanchoka using a piece of wood before vanishing. Locals say the rise in consumption of illicit brews has caused five deaths in the area since the beginning of the year. TRADITIONAL BREWSMany people have turned to traditional brews following the closure of bars to curb the spread of the virus. On Sunday morning, police officers arrested the brewer’s daughter who hit the Nyumba Kumi official.
