Category: Cattle Rustlers, Sponsor a Ranger | Date: Jun 09 2008 | By: Kimojino

Leyian and his wife, Naponari

Yesterday morning, I went with a group of rangers from Serena, Oloololo and Mara Bridge to visit Ranger Johnson Leyian at his home.

Ranger Leyian was shot twice at the end of April when chasing cattle rustlers who had stolen cattle from the local communities up on the escarpment. His injuries were very serious with Doctors saying that he arrived at Aga Khan hospital, Nairobi, just in time.

He is very well and is able to walk, but there is a small limp that is a recent development over the last three days, and he has had some pain appearing in his lower abdomen. We know that he will consult with the Doctor again today.

Leyian and fellow rangers and workers from the Conservancy.

Leyian’s family were so happy to see us, despite already the many visitors that were there. Members of the local church were there to pray for Leyian as well as the people from many of the surrounding villages.

We all pray that Leyian will make a full recovery.

Please help if you can with some of our outstanding bills & Air Ambulance charges, or consider if you can, sponsoring one of our rangers.
