A woman from Bungoma County has been left homeless after a group of mourners set her house on fire during a shocking ritual.
This incident occurred shortly after the burial of a man who was tragically killed, and it has raised serious concerns about traditional practices in the community.
The ritual, known as Okhusoola, is performed when people believe that someone has died due to unnatural causes.
In this case, the community suspected foul play in the man’s death, prompting the mourners to take extreme action.
Videos shared online show a group of men entering the woman’s compound while the last mourners were still present and the grave was still fresh.
As the men stormed into her home, they quickly forced the widow out and began destroying her property.
They set fire to her belongings, leaving her with nothing but ashes where her house once stood.
The sight of her home being burned was devastating, and she stood there feeling helpless and unsure of what to do next.
Witnesses reported that the destruction happened almost immediately after the burial, shocking everyone involved.
The widow, who was already grieving the loss of her loved one, now faces the loss of her home and all her possessions.
This act of violence has left her isolated and in need of support.
Many people in the community have reacted with outrage, questioning the necessity of such rituals in modern society.
Critics argue that these traditional practices are outdated and should not lead to violence or further suffering for the bereaved.
The actions of the mourners have sparked a conversation about the need for change in how communities handle grief and justice.
