Juja residents uproar over hyena attacks

A section of Juja residents in Kiambu County have expressed dissatisfaction with lessons that were shared by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) on what Kenyans should do to avoid hyena attacks.

On their social media platforms, KWS shared seven lessons on how Kenyans should act when they encounter hyenas. 

Among the seven lessons, KWS advised Kenyans not to run, not show signs of fear and keep themselves calm by talking to the killer animal.

This sparked public uproar in Juja, where two children and a female adult have been mauled to death by hyenas in the last 40 days.

The latest incident saw a 10-year-old boy killed by hyenas and his remains collected at Gwa Kigwi village in Juja
