April Fools: Some of the top pranks played on Kenyans

April Fool's Day or April Fools' Day is an annual custom on April 1.

The day consists of practical jokes and hoaxes that often sees jokesters expose their actions by shouting "April Fools!" at the recipient of their prank.

Also involved in these pranks played on April Fools’ Day is radio, newspapers, televisions and social media, which may be revealed as such after midday or the following day.

On Thursday such pranks were played on suspecting and unsuspecting Kenyans, with some falling flat while some got Kenyans good!

Here are samples of the top pranks that marked the fools’ day:
