A man in Chebilat, Nyamira County, is calling for help after claiming that witches have been giving him sleepless nights.
Gerald Omboye said on Friday at his house that for the last two months he has not been sleeping because witches have been troubling him.
"I have been living alone for 2 years after my wife abandoned me mysteriously. My nights for the last two months have not been good because witches have been troubling me," he noted.
He said on Friday morning when he woke up, he found a chicken without a head dumped in front of the door.
Omboye said he alerted a local pastor who arrived and prayed before the dead chicken was removed from the door's entrance.
"I'm appealing to members of the clergy to pray for me so that the witches can keep off. I suspect the witches are the reason my wife abandoned me," he noted.
Lawrence Kiriago a local pastor said he will not allow the witches to continue troubling his follower.
"Witches will have no option rather than keeping off Omboye because I will camp at Omboye's house with prayers every day. People should stop engaging in barbaric practices," he said.
Bernard Keango, area assistant chief, urged residents to shun witchcraft and turn to the lord.
