A 33-year-old woman is recuperating at Nyang’oma Mission Hospital after she was attacked and seriously mauled by a crocodile at Riskis-Kogwari beach in Bondo sub-county.
Nancy Achieng’ Ochieng’ is said to have gone to wash her cloths at the lakeshore when the reptile attacked and seriously injured her.
According to Nyang’oma Assistant Chief Mr Michael Amollo Osare, the woman screamed during the attack before some two fishermen who were near the lakeshore rushed to rescue her.
Confirming the incident, Mr Osare said that the woman was lucky since the two fishermen reached the scene when the crocodile was still holding her, and swiftly entered into the water in an attempt to snatch her from the reptile.
