Torit Authorities To Help Return Raided Livestock
Torit County authorities are determined to recover all stolen number of goats by Chalamini village within Torit County belonging to Ilieu village. 16 May 2013 By Peter Lokale Nakimangole TORIT, 15 May 2013 [Gurtong] – The Torit County Commissioner, German Charles Ojok has told Gurtong that a few elements of Chalamini village raided a three Ilieu village and both villages fall with Hiyala Payam of Torit County. On Monday 13, the Commissioner along other county authorities and police forces visited the raided village where they held a meeting presided by the commissioner and attended by village chiefs, youth, women and elders. He disclosed that he had informed them not take a revenge on Chalamini village since his authority will enforce a law to ensure all stolen goats be returned to the rightful owners as soon as possible. Though Ilieu is also Lotuko like Chalamini, still they are always engaged in raiding each other and also kill themselves at times. During the meeting, a section of Ilieu community publicly threatened to avenge if the county authorities do not take a necessary step to ensure the over 330 stolen goats are recovered and be returned. But the commissioner pleaded as he warns to deal with those who rush in a reprisal saying there is no authority mandated to follow those stolen goat rather than his. However, the Chalamini side admitted to have 20 goats. This contradicts figures of what Ilieu insists. But the commissioner Ojok pledges to ensure their demands must be fulfilled saying all these claims shall impartially and transparently be weighed before judiciary that shall be invited to study the case and rule it accordingly and if either side confirms wrong, it shall be held responsible before the law.
