A farmer in Bungoma’s Lwakhakha area is urgently seeking assistance to recover eight cows that were reportedly stolen by suspected thieves.
The farmer, identified as 61-year-old Jialo Masinde, discovered the disappearance of his cattle, which included three bulls, three cows, and two calves, valued at Sh240,000, upon waking up.
According to officers from the Lwakhakha Police Station, the cattle had been tied up in Masinde’s compound and were taken during the night by unknown perpetrators.
The police believe the robbers drove the animals away to an undisclosed location.
Efforts are currently underway to locate the stolen cattle, with police promising to provide updates on the investigation’s progress.
