The Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) has successfully captured a hyena that was spotted roaming around Embakasi. In a Facebook post on Tuesday, KWS detailed their swift response to an urgent call from the National Police Service ‘A’ campus in Embakasi, informing them of the hyena’s presence on the grounds.
KWS immediately deployed a specially designed predator trap to safely capture the hyena without causing it any harm. “After careful planning and execution, the hyena was successfully captured and ready to be returned to its rightful home,” KWS stated.
The hyena was then safely transported to Nairobi National Park, where it was released back into its natural habitat amid the vast savannah and familiar landscapes. KWS highlighted that this successful mission not only demonstrated the dedication and expertise of their team but also underscored their commitment to peaceful coexistence between wildlife and communities.
KWS urged the public to contact them in case of any wildlife encounters. They can be reached via their 24-7 Toll-Free line at 0800 597 000 or WhatsApp at 0726 610509 for immediate intervention.
This incident follows a recent event where KWS dispatched a special team to capture a lioness spotted in a residential area in Ongata Rongai’s Nazarene area.
