A Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) footage has surfaced online of a lion, suspected to be the one sought after by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), chasing cows in Rongai at night.
The footage dated 28th November 2019 shows a small herd of cows running towards the direction of the camera. A few moments later, a lion is seen chasing them behind.
This lion spotted in the CCTV is suspected to be one of the stray lions sought after by KWS. They stepped up their surveillance recently after a man was killed in Rongai by a lion. A lioness and two male cubs were also spotted marauding near Kandisi River and Mutondo Ridge estate.
Residents of Ongata Rongai have been living in fear of an encounter with lions with early risers spotting a pride of cats at different times. They have now been forced to restrict their movements between 9am to 5pm as the cats are more likely to be spotted when the sun sets.
KWS has however dismissed reports of ten lions being on the loose in Rongai, Ngong, and Kitengela areas.

The video has however been confirmed to have been recorded in India and not in Ongata Rongai.
