Kenyan Man Claims Relatives Tried to Poison His Home’s Water Supply Amid Fierce Land Dispute

A Kenyan man has reported a troubling incident involving two of his relatives, whom he accuses of attempting to contaminate his household water supply. He believes the alleged act is linked to an ongoing feud over family land.

Brother Discovers Suspicious Activity

According to the man, the incident came to light when his brother found the two relatives behaving suspiciously outside their home. He said they were dressed entirely in bright white clothing, an appearance he described as unusual and unsettling.

“Imagine, my brother comes home and finds two family members dressed in pure white—nguo za wachawi—sprinkling substances at my doorstep,” he recounted.

He added that the pair was walking in circular patterns while pouring what he described as unknown chemicals around the compound.

Water Tank Allegedly Targeted

The man claimed the household water tank was the primary target. He alleged the relatives were seeking access to it so they could pour the substances inside.

“Walikuwa wanatafuta access ya kumwaga madawa ndani ya ile maji,” he said. When his brother confronted them, they allegedly taunted him and urged him to drink the substance.

After the confrontation, the family locked the water tank to prevent any further attempts.

Feud Tied to Family Land

The man connected the alleged poisoning attempt to long-running disputes over ancestral property. He claimed the relatives are motivated by money and have previously used violence to clear the way for land sales.

“Hawa hawa ni familia waliwaua ati ndio wauze hii shamba,” he alleged, referring to earlier incidents connected to the dispute.

He also stated that the same relatives once approached him with an offer—if he supported the sale of the land, they would help fund his education. He refused, saying his academic performance did not justify the deal.

Faith and Vigilance

He expressed gratitude that no one was harmed and credited divine protection for safeguarding his household. He also noted the difficult conditions he lives in but said he remains alert and cautious following the encounter.

The incident has renewed concerns over escalating family land conflicts in the region and the extreme measures some individuals are allegedly willing to take in pursuit of property.
