A Kalenjin clan in Nakuru has sparked curiosity after claiming that a stray lion captured by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers was heading to its highly anticipated gathering scheduled for Saturday, November 14.
Members of the Talai clan believe the animal, which is their totem, was on a spiritual mission to deliver a message of goodwill from their ancestors ahead of the meeting.
The male lion was captured on Wednesday, November 11, after it reportedly killed a cow in Kipkitur, Nakuru County. KWS officers tracked it down and immobilised it at Leaky Farm, approximately four kilometres from the venue of the clan's planned gathering.
