According to eye witnesses, the lion attacked the 12 year old who was in bed chatting with her phone.

However the incident has caused outrage among area residents who are now accusing the Kenya Wildlife Service of not doing enough to curb the incidents of animals encroaching on residential areas.

This comes at a time  when leaders in Taita Taveta led by governor Granton Samboja are collecting signatures to compel the government share with the county government revenue collected from the national park.
