| Juja South residents at a scene where a woman was mauled to death by hyenas (l). |
Juja South Estate residents were thrown into mourning after a 52-year-old food vendor was mauled to death by hyenas. Nancy Njoki was returning to her small kiosk from the market where she had gone to buy kale, cabbages, and other supplies for her daily operations when the wild animals fatally attacked her. “It is not the first time we have been threatened by hyenas and other animals here. She had just walked from the market with some items to her Kibanda to prepare lunch for the casual workers. Now I am not even sure where they will eat today. It is very sad,” a local boda rider who witnessed the horrific scene told Citizen Digital.Her belongings were discovered a few meters from the attack site, where hyenas allegedly devoured her head, stomach, and waist, leading her family to commit to seeking legal justice.
