A man in Kebobe, Gachuba in Kitutu Masaba, Nyamira County has reportedly gone mad days after he visited a witch doctor.
Witnesses said Gwaro Obiri recently returned from Mombasa where he has been working for the last 20 years before his cousin lied to him that he will be bewitched if he won't visit a witch doctor.
"Obiri returned home two weeks ago and bought a motorbike. His cousin told him to visit a witch doctor so that he can't be bewitched not knowing he will turn mad," said a shocked resident, Francis Momanyi.
Mr Momanyi said immediately after Obiri left the witch doctor's home on Sunday evening he started behaving like a mad man.
"At first we thought it was malaria but his condition has worsened he is not a total mad man who if not tied with ropes he strips naked and runs in public," he noted.
Area assistant chief Nyaberi Ondari said prayers offered by pastors from the region are yet to bear fruits.
"Despite the witch doctor promising that he cured the victim there is no change. Obiri is a total mad man. People should stop barbaric believes and trust God," he said.
