Man nursing wounds after caught stealing sukuma wiki

A man in Khasoko village, Bumula constituency in Bungoma County is nursing wounds after he was roughed up by irate residents who caught him stealing kales (Sukuma wiki).

It is alleged that the young man surnamed Ouma, was yesterday evening at 8.00 pm caught red handed in his neighbor’s kales farm plucking which was half full sack by the owner who raised alarm and neighbors responded quickly.

Upon being grilled on why he was stealing, the man gave a lame excuse saying that his wife lacked vegetables to prepare for supper. This surprised residents who could not understand how two people could feast on half sack kales.

Irate residents descended on him with kicks and blows before being rescued by police officers on patrol and taken to Nasianda police post where he is in custody waiting to be arraigned in court.
