Two women caused a stampede in Kitengela town on Wednesday morning when they walked around with bees around their faces.
The two women were both carrying a total of Sh80,000 out of Sh100,000 they allegedly robbed another woman in a Kitengela-bound bus on September 27, 2023.
The swarm of bees on their faces and hands appeared not to bother the two women as they walked through the town, as they searched for the house of the woman they had stolen the money from.
Kajiado East subcounty police commander Patrick Manyasi said the women later went to Kitengela police station and handed the balance of the stolen money.
Manyasi said the bees left the two women after handing over the money to Kitengela Police Station OCS, David Shani.
“I have never seen such a thing and I have never believed in such, but it happened,” said Manyasi, who also said the owner of the money reported to the station and confirmed the theft of her money.
The woman who lost the money on the bus said she had reported the theft at the same police station, but later decided to “visit” a witch doctor to help her recover the money.
The two women told the police that they had shared and spent Sh20,000 before the calamity happened on Wednesday morning when they were visited by the bees.
They were later locked up at the Kitengela police cells as the police said they wanted to understand the matter well.
