Fishermen in Lake Victoria have urged the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to remove rogue hippos in the lake after a 39-year-old fisherman was killed by one of the behemoths.

The fishermen said the number of hippos has increased in parts of Suba and they are worried about their safety, especially when they are out fishing at night.
