| Three elephants roaming through villages in Masinga |
The incident happened this afternoon at Makutano Ma Ndei, Mukusu sub-location in Masinga Sub County.
The three elephants were earlier reported to be roaming through villages in Kaewa and Musumaa sub locations of Masinga in Machakos County, sending panic among residents.
Life for the villagers has been disrupted as they ran helter-skelter as they await intervention from Kenya Wildlife Services.
The jumbo are believed to have escaped from the nearby Mwea Game Reserve. This morning, one of the jumbo trampled upon a goat in the unfolding scenarios.
By the time of going to press, no action had been taken by either local administration of the KWS.
