Hippo kills fisherman as residents ask KWS to remove beasts
A Hippo grazing by the shores of Lake Victoria in the past. A fisherman has died at the Roo beach in Kaksingri ward after one such beast attacked their boat.
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.
