Witchcraft: Car thief surrenders to police after mysterious attack by bees
A suspected car thief on Monday ran into a police station and surrendered himself after he was attacked by a swarm of bees, which only left him after a witchdoctor performed a ritual.
Mr Francis Sikadigu had allegedly drugged the car owner before driving off to an unknown destination.

When the Nation caught up with him at the police station, Mr Sikadigu, a middle-aged Ugandan, was groaning in pain and moving in circles as the bees stung him.
He had abandoned the car at the gate to the Bungoma County Assembly.
Bungoma OCPD David Kirui said the suspect was in custody and would be charged in court once investigations were complete.
PURE WITCHCRAFT
“This is pure witchcraft,” said Mr Kirui light-heartedly and added: “We are trying to establish the truth.”
Mr John Wafula, a well-known car hire dealer in Bungoma town, said Mr Sikadigu wanted to hire his car for three days on Friday but drugged him and fled in it.
“We were negotiating in a bar and when I went to relieve myself he spiked my drink,” Mr Wafula narrated. “I regained consciousness at the Bungoma County referral hospital.”
Mr Wafula said that besides reporting the theft at the police station, he also sought the services of a witchdoctor to recover his stolen vehicle.
‘THANK GOD’
“I thank God my vehicle has been found and the suspect is in police custody,” said Mr Wafula. “I want him charged in court to stop the habit.”
Police officers and residents escorted the suspect to a witchdoctor, ‘Dr’ Siraba Musali alias Dr Nyuki, in nearby Marell Estate, where the bees flew away after he was given a concoction.
Police escorted him back to the station under tight security.

Witchdoctor summons bee swarm to stop motorcycle thief

THAT’S ONE WAY TO GO ABOUT IT WE SUPPOSE.
In what is perhaps the strangest headline we’ve ever written – and we’ve written a few – local news reports from Mbooni, Makueni in Kenya are claiming that a motorcyclist has managed to recover his bike from a thief after asking the local witchdoctor for help.
The witchdoctor – who presumably went through a few other options before coming up on this particular, cunning plan – allegedly contacted a large swarm of bees that had already begun to invade a local market, and sent them to track down the stolen motorcycle instead.
The thief is said to have run off for ‘dear life’ as the bees began settling onto the yoke and tank of the bike.
The reports then go on to suggest that the bees also protected the bike from any further interruption for over half and hour until the owner could arrive, who then took his motorcycle home.
After a little investigation it would seem that all isn’t what it seems. According to a local website, the swarm was merely an act of nature and nothing supernatural at all.
The Assistant Chief of the area, Patrick Mwanzia, said that the swarm arrived after the queen of the hive got stuck within the bike’s handlebars. And, in fact, a similar incident had happened just days before when another bike was covered in a swarm for over two hours.
Which is all well and good, but how did the queen get there in the first place eh? See, that’s just what they want you to think!
