According to the residents, the man has been secretly selling the meat to unsuspecting members of public.

"We have been suspecting  him for a long time. Today, we found him slaughtering a dog in his house ready to hawk it as he usually does. We decided to teach him a lesson," said Jack Oloo, one of the residents.

Police saved the man from the public. He was taken to Kaptembwa police station and will be arraigned in court.

Zachary Mwaita,a local health officer, has warned members of public against consuming hawked meat or drugs since it has not been authorized by the authorities.
