Lion Printed On Paper Bag Causes Tension In Meru

In the early hours of Thursday morning, locals in Muritibu village, Meru county, reported seeing a lion lurking in the hedges.

The inhabitants were so terrified that they called the Kenya Wildlife Services to come to their aid.

As they waited for the authorities to arrive and save them before the lion could pounce, it became clear that the lion wasn’t real, but rather a lion-printed Carrefour carrier bag.

Teresia Igiria, a spokesperson for the KWS, confirmed to Capital News that they had been approached to carry out the operation.
