Authorities in West Pokot County, Kenya, have arrested 12 suspects at Kapenguria Police Station who have confessed to abducting, killing, and consuming at least eight children over several years. The suspects are reportedly Ugandan nationals. Following these revelations, local residents attempted to lynch the suspects amid growing fear and outrage in the community. Subsequently, the government has ordered fresh vetting of nationals from Burundi, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda's Wagisu community residing in West Pokot to address concerns related to cannibalism and organ harvesting allegations. The number of suspects has reportedly increased to 13 in connection with these crimes. The situation has heightened fears in Kapenguria regarding the safety of children and the prevalence of such criminal activities.
