Police sources on Thursday reported that so far 18 sheep have been returned to the farm owned by the family of retired President Uhuru Kenyatta.
According to Daily Nation,The sheep were returned in cars being driven by unknown people, who dropped them near the farm.
The farm’s security manager, Mr Patrick Masinde, confirmed the return of the animals, saying:
“So far we are optimistic with the process, since we have recovered 18.”

“since these are not traditional breeds that feed anyhow.
We urge all holding our stock to return them peacefully.”

The protests had been planned for every Monday and Thursday, to push the government to lower the cost of living, and stop selection of electoral commissioners, among other demands.
Five of the sheep were on Wednesday night found abandoned at Dandora police station, where inquiries led to security managers at the farm identifying them through special marks on the animals, before they were returned to the farm.
