Wednesday, January 21, 2026 - A man in Kitale who was attempting to hug a tree continuously for 120 hours has been hospitalised after being attacked by goons.
The man claims that the attackers were sent by Saboti
MP, Caleb Hamisi, to stop the challenge.
According to the victim, the assault occurred while he was
in the middle of the now-popular challenge, forcing him to abandon the attempt.
Speaking from his hospital bed, the man alleged that the
area MP personally visited the scene where he was hugging the tree
and offered him Ksh 50,000, warning that he will be “taught a lesson” if
he refused to quit the challenge.
He claims that shortly after declining the offer, he
was attacked by goons, sustaining injuries that required urgent medical
attention.
He was rushed to Kijana Wamalwa Teaching and Referral
Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.
