60 hyenas Captured in Juja’s operation ‘Ondoa Fisi’
Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has successfully captured 60 hyenas in Juja as part of “Operation Ondoa Fisi,” an initiative launched in response to a series of deadly attacks in the area.
Some hyenas have also been killed in the exercise meant to restore normalcy in Juja sub-county.
The operation, which began on September 8, 2024, followed the tragic deaths of two residents, including five-year-old Njoroge Gitau, who was killed by a hyena on September 4, 2024.
Led by Joseph Dadacha, Senior Assistant Director for the Central Rift Conservation Area, the operation has mobilized officers from Nairobi, Laikipia, and Nakuru.
Their efforts are aimed at relocating the hyenas that have been terrorizing local communities.
The urgency of the situation escalated after a 52-year-old woman was also mauled to death while returning from the market.
These incidents sparked outrage among residents, who threatened to take action if KWS did not intervene swiftly.
KWS has also increased patrols in high-risk areas, including Nyacaba, Athi, Juja Farm, Gwa Kigwe, and Muthara Village, to prevent further attacks.
