Fisherman killed by a Hippo

There has been a calamity in Naivasha. Naivasha is a town in Nakuru County, Kenya, 92.8 km northwest of Nairobi. It has a population of about 198,444 according to the 2019 census and is located on the shores of Lake Naivasha, which influences its name which is derived from the Maasai word for "that which rises". Naivasha is known for its agriculture, particularly floriculture, and serves as a popular tourist destination with attractions such as Hell's Gate National Park and Crescent Island Game Park. Following the tragic death of a local fisherman, grief and anger are expressed by the residents of Kihoto. A fisherman was killed by a hippo. The fisherman was tragically killed by a hippo while reportedly trying to flee from the coast guard.  Armed with drums and sticks, the local fishermen threw caution to the wind and ventured deep into the water to recover Maina's remains. What happened? A fellow fisherman gave an account. The fisherman left home as usual to provide for his family, using only a fishing rod and a hook deep in the water. The fellow fisherman, describing the horrific events, said they were only laying their usual traps. He said they were attacked by the coast guard and forced to flee for fear of arrest. He fled from the police, walking straight to his death. "As we were trying to set the traps, coast guard officers showed up and we started to flee towards the water. When we got there, my colleague went in and got to a place with hippos who attacked and killed him. After that, the officer who had been chasing us left and they left," Muriuki said. The fisherman's body was later recovered from the lake with the assistance of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the police. This was the fisherman's last day.
