Police Discover Skull Inside Nairobi-bound Bus - Kenyans.co.ke
A standoff was on Thursday witnessed at the Busia border after a human skull was discovered inside a passenger bus.
According to eyewitnesses, the bus, which was coming from Rwanda and headed for Nairobi, stopped at the border for a routine check.
It was at this point that a human skull was discovered inside, neatly packed as a parcel.
The bus driver and conductor were interrogated following the discovery, then they proceeded to the Busia Police Station to record statements.

Locals got wind of the bizarre incident and rushed to the scene demanding an explanation.
"We do not know who was carrying the skull and for what use. We also want to know where the said person was heading. Police should investigate this matter and give a comprehensive report," said one of the residents.
"The skull was well-packed and at first you would have thought it was a parcel. Killing a fellow human being is unacceptable," added another.
After the driver and conductor had recorded their statements, they were given a green light to proceed with the journey.
The skull was left at the police station as officers as investigations commenced on the matter.
According to the locals, the discovery should serve as a wake-up call to authorities to tighten the noose at all border points to ensure there is no trafficking of human organs.
"There is a possibility that some people in Busia or the surrounding regions are engaging in such dirty businesses. Security agencies should crack the whip and prosecute those who will be found guilty," said a Busia resident.
In September this year, long-distance truck drivers also lamented cases of insecurity at the Busia border saying thugs take advantage of traffic snarl-ups to rob them of their valuables.
