You won’t believe what went down in Bomet last week. Three guys who everyone knows from the local chang’aa den decided to steal a cow in the dead of night. The mission looked successful – they even tied it properly and started walking it away. Come morning, the whole village almost died laughing (and screaming).
Around 8:30 a.m., these same dudes came sprinting back into the trading centre like they’d seen the devil himself. Shirtless, swollen faces, rolling in the dirt, and literally blanketed in bees. Thousands of them! They were yelling “tusamehe! tusamehe hekima!” (forgive us, forgive us!) while trying to rub the bees off, but it only got worse. Auntie Mary, who sells mandazis opposite the police post, told me, “These boys dropped the rope, pushed the cow forward like it was burning them, and begged us to march them straight to the OCS before the bees finished them.”
At the station they confessed everything, crying: the cow suddenly felt like it weighed a tonne, their heads were on fire, and then boom-bees from nowhere. They swore the owner had “locked” the cow with traditional medicine. By the time the bees finally left, the three looked like overripe avocados. The cow is safely back home, the thieves are safely in cells, and the whole village is still talking about it. Read more https://drbokko.com/?p=35129
