NCV senior correspondent

For the past two months in HomaBay town now, cases of night robbery and rape has been on the increase with the residents blaming the County security to be sleeping on the job despite the frequent reports on attacks. Tension grew deeper when a chief and his wife in Sophia estate were brutally attacked by the thugs in a state suspected to be a revenge of unknown issue.

The residents are alleging that the offenders have been using unknown substance to send them to a dead sleep before breaking into their homes and making away with their entire properties plus the mattresses leaving them asleep in cold floors. And like this isn't enough, they have gone as far as even raping the unconscious females found these houses.

“It would have been slightly reasonable if these people only took the properties they need from us and let our bodies be! Do you really know what it takes for you only to learn that you were raped by unknown victim and especially if you imagine it was done without protection!” this were laments of a female resident whose house was robbed to while she was away. She requested NCV not to reveal his identity in fear of further attacks.

The residents here are appealing to the County and the National Intelligence Service to seriously seek for a quick solution onto this matter for rape is now bringing the mess onto a different degree that calls for no bargain.
