Fear has this evening gripped the residents of Hiriga Village in Nyeri after a Mugumo tree believed to be over 800 years came down tumbling, leaving behind trails of destroyed residential walls and electricity cables.
The fall of the tree which is just a few kilometers from Rigathi Gachagua’s multi-million village residence has left VILLAGERS begging their elders to convince them that the rare occurrence is not meant to bring shackles of doom to them.
The elders have however asked for calm and patience as they ascertain the implications of the fall to the community.
