Two initiates who had undergone a month-long rite of passage at Torokiat village in Narok South sub-county went missing on Monday while on a hunting challenge.

The two boys, who had undergone circumcision on November 11 after the closure of schools, are said to have disappeared at around 5am, prompting shocked villagers to launch a frantic search.

According to Alexander Tonui, a father of one of the boys, the initiates aged 17 and 18 had gone hunting in the bushes when they went missing, a day to their pass out ceremony.
