(@JimmyLoree) February 23, 2020 In early February, a Worlf Food Programme employee met her death at the shoes of Lake Turkana after she was attacked by a crocodile.

It was reported that the official was attacked at around 1am Thursday (6th February, 2020). According to Turkana Central Sub-County Police Commander David Mburukuwa, the crocodile singled out the woman who was in a group of people swimming along the lake’s shores.
