[Hyena]Marauding hyenas scavenging for food and water have invaded homesteads in villages in Garba-Tula, Isiolo County. Yesterday morning, a pack of hyenas invaded homesteads in Barambate Location in Garba-Tula and attacked sleeping villagers in their huts injuring 11, three of them critically. Jattani senior’s left ear was ripped off while the animal also sliced away part of the right thigh. Abdullahi said the family had lost hundreds of goats and sheep to wild animals, especially hyenas who roam the villages in search of food and water. The hyena that attacked his family was speared to death later.
