West Pokot County officials have launched a massive hunt for foreign nationals after shocking reports of people eating human flesh and stealing body parts. Security bosses want every foreigner living in the area checked out immediately. County Commissioner Abdullahi Khalif told reporters that three areas will face the toughest searches. The towns of Kapenguria, Makutano, and Bandera have become danger zones where investigators believe the worst crimes happened.
Khalif said his team respects East African unity but cannot allow murder and cannibalism. Officials believe the suspects killed and ate at least eight children before getting caught. The killers had been living in cheap shelters along a main road in Bandera. Police say the suspects admitted to their horrible crimes when questioned.
The commissioner ordered workers to tear down all illegal buildings where the suspects lived. Local families have been terrified as more children kept disappearing over recent months. Parents feared the worst but never expected such brutal crimes in their peaceful community. The court system has kept the suspects locked up for three more weeks. Judges cannot start the trial until they figure out how old each suspect is.
Six of the accused killers might be teenagers themselves. Immigration workers and local police will team up to check every foreign person in the county. Officials want residents to stay calm but keep watching for strange behavior. Anyone who sees suspicious activity should call authorities right away.
