Residents of Wundanyi in Taita Taveta on Tuesday, January 27, demanded the immediate arrest of eight prisoners who recently escaped from a local prison.
Speaking for the first time since the bizarre incident, residents expressed their fear in the wake of the prisoners' escape stating that they were a threat to their safety and that of their loved ones. "We fear for our lives and businesses because we know of the crimes they committed.
