Elsewhere, in Mayala village, Mumias East Constituency, police are holding Kelvin Adika at Shianda Police Station following an alleged illegal connection of an electrified barbed wire fence that electrocuted a 10-year-old girl on Sunday afternoon.
According to a police report recorded under Occurrence Book No. 35/15/12/2025 at 5.30pm, Roseline Achieng reported that her daughter, Nicole Osundwa, was electrocuted before being rescued by neighbours.
The girl was taken to a local private facility and later referred to Bungoma County Referral Hospital, where she was treated and is in stable condition.
Police, accompanied by officers from Kenya Power in Kakamega, visited the scene and established that the owner of the homestead had illegally connected electricity directly from his house to a barbed wire fence.
Police disconnected all the illegal connections and said they are holding the owner to assist with investigations to establish the motive behind the illegal wiring.
