On Monday night, an 80-year-old woman was allegedly gang raped by unknown individuals at Kademba 'B' village Nyajuok sub-location in Alego Usonga sub-county. She is being treated at Ting' Wang'i health centre.
After being rescued from the suspected rapists, the old woman was transferred to the health institution on Tuesday morning.
According to one of the witnesses, Fredrick Odima, the suspected rapists broke into the grandmother's house at 8 p.m. to commit the crime.
According to him, the grandma was only rescued by several neighbours who heard her scream for aid before rushing there and discovering the suspected rapists in the act.
The suspected rapists, whose identities are still unknown, fled into the darkness before speeding away on a motorcycle, leaving the granny moaning in anguish, according to Odima.
Obama lamented that inhabitants now live in fear and urged more regional security to end such horrible deeds.
The occurrence was confirmed by Mr John Adhiambo Okinyo, the chief of the South Alego site, who noted that the grandmother was transferred to Ting' Wang'i Health Centre for a medical check-up.
Mr Adhiambo noted that the suspects remain at large and that investigations have already begun to locate and apprehend them so that they can face the total weight of the law.
