Residents of Kapchan Village in Uasin Gishu were treated to a bizarre incident where a form two student was found at night allegedly night-running in the village.
The student, who is currently studying at St Anthony High School Kitale is said to have sneaked out of school without permission from the administration or any notice from the school guards.
The teenager is reported to have given the residents sleepless nights with his night-running, something that prompted a group of local men to plan a trap.
The trap bore fruits as the vigilante caught him in the second night.
The angry group was to beat him up but fortunately he was identified by one of the villagers and therefore his family was contacted immediately.
"'My boy has been in school and furthermore their half term had already been over," a terrified mother said.
"We will take the boy for a medical check-up before we take him to school. Such an incident has never happened to him before," said his father.
The family called a local pastor to pray for the boy because it was believed he was possessed.
