Residents of Naivasha’s Moi South Lake area woke up to bizarre scenes after unknown people strategically dumped tens of dead chicken along the busy Moi South Lake road.
Locals, mostly flower farmers, say they found the dead fowls purposely placed at a re-occurring interval along one side of the busy road.
They say the bizarre scene caused fear and panic as the dead birds were not eaten by stray dogs in the area.
“This place has tens of hyenas and wild dogs but none has consumed the discarded birds raising concern among area residents,” said Moses Mulunga, a resident.
