In 2015, John Monyi, the chairman of night runners in Homa Bay County explained the satisfaction derived from night running, dancing and scaring people: “When I am outside at night doing my thing, I cannot go back to my house until after I have scared someone either on the road or in their house,” he confesses.
If he doesn’t find anyone to frighten, he opts to running around his compound or in a playground. But he is very particular that they don’t kill or injure people.
