By KALUME KAZUNGUMore by this AuthorA man was on Thursday morning attacked and killed by a hippo as he cut trees in a bush in Mkunumbi Village in Lamu County. Mr Omar Mohamed Maalim, 33, met his death after the thirsty hippo emerged from a thicket and attacked him, killing him on the spot. HIPPO LOOKING FOR WATER“The deceased died after being attacked by a hippo that we suspect was looking for water. This latest incident comes just a day after a farmer in Bodhei, Lamu East, was killed by a buffalo as he was fetching water. Early November, a middle-aged man was attacked and gored to death by a buffalo in Kililana, Lamu West.
