Five Killed In Highway Attacks, Police Deployed
South Sudanese security forces have been deployed on the main Juba-Kajokeji highway after five people were killed in separate attacks on the highways in Central Equatoria State. 24 April 2013 By Waakhe Simon Wudu JUBA, 24 April 2013 [Gurtong] β A student of the University of Juba identified as Alex Bojo was reported to have been killed yester-morning by unknown assailants along the Juba-Kajokeji road. South Sudan Police Spokesperson Col. James Monday said: βOn Tuesday, 23 April, a group of gangs attacked two motor riders, killing one of them and robbed the motorcycle on Juba-Kajokeji Road.β This incident marks as part of several others this week happening along roads linking Juba to either counties within the state or to other states. On Sunday five people were confirmed killed by goons along the Juba-Torit and Juba-Nimule road in separate incidences. This scale of occurrences mark recent rise of insecurity within and around Juba capital which the Interior Ministry said had subsided compared to previous years. Enocka further explained that, due to join security operation patrol in the city especially at night, goons are finding it challenging to operate thus moving to the outskirts of the capital. He said authorities have stepped up joint operation combining of all police, army and security operatives patrolling at night in the city.
