Residents of Siaya County were left stunned after a local man was spotted riding a bicycle with a large python tied to it, heading to a nearby police station. The unusual incident, captured on video and widely shared on social media, quickly drew attention from motorists and pedestrians along the road.
According to the man, the python had killed his pet dog, which he said was helping guard his homestead and scare away monkeys. After killing the snake, he decided to transport it to the police station, saying he wanted to report the incident and present the reptile as evidence.
In the video, the man is heard expressing anger and frustration, questioning how such wildlife threats are handled. His remarks, including the statement “Hii ni ujinga, serikali inacheza na sisi,” reflected broader concerns among rural residents about human-wildlife conflict and the lack of rapid response.
Onlookers reacted with a mix of shock and curiosity as the man cycled past with the massive snake visibly strapped to the back of his bicycle. Some slowed down to watch, while others recorded the scene, contributing to the clip’s rapid spread online.
Police have not issued an official statement on the incident, and it remains unclear how authorities handled the report after the man arrived at the station. The episode has nonetheless sparked renewed debate on wildlife management and the challenges faced by communities living close to natural habitats.
