June 24, 2015 (WAU) – Armed robbers have attacked the house of the
chairperson of the youth league in the ruling SPLM party’s office in
Western Bahr el Ghazal state, getting away with thousands of money.
SPLM youth league chairperson Abdaraman Dayia Abdaraman told Sudan
Tribune that the incident took place at 1Am. He said the armed robbers
took away 3,200 South Sudanese pounds (SSP).
“I and my family [members] were sleeping and it happened that somebody
started knocking [on] my door asking me to open the door. I asked who
are you? He said just open the door while another one was breaking my
window,” narrated Dayia.
He said when he told them he could not open the door one of them
pointed a pistol at him, saying he would shoot him if he didn’t want
to open to door. The victim was forced to open the door for the
thieves.
“We opened the door and they came in four of them [and] started
ordering me to sit down on the floor. When I set down, they began
asking me where [is] the money? I told my wife to open the bag and
they just went in and opened the bag and took 3,200 SSP which was in
the bag,” he said.
The thieves, he added, further went on searching his room and later
got watch which was also taken. They also went into the house of his
close neighbour but they did not get anything,” he said. Dayia said
however the night patrollers intervened later on but found that
thieves had already left.
Similar incidents also occurred in Jebel Khier residential area where
thieves attacked a house of a businessman wounding him after they
fired bullets on him. Last Saturday, unknown gunmen shot dead a
Somalia businessman in Jaw market after he was attacked in his house
and asked to pay some cash.
Since the beginning of June this year, rampant nigh attack by robbers
and killing has remained a security threat in the state capital, Wau
town.
Recently, Western Bahr el Ghazal state governor Rizik Zackaria Hassan
ordered nigh patrolling security personnel to shoot and kill
criminals’ found attacking civilians and breaking shops at night.
Governor Rizik issued the order in suspicions that the security
personnel themselves were also involved in the robbers at night,
saying he needed evidence that the thieves were different from them by
killing thieves in order to identify them.
“We need evidence; you have to kill the thief, let us find a thief
down. You have to distinguish yourself from thieves because if it is
you patrolling the town at night and criminals are still attacking
citizens, how will we know who is a thief between you and those
attacking people at night,” Rizik made it clear to the night
patrollers.
However, the order faced criticisms from citizens and local human
rights activists who described it as harsh and brutal idea, saying
thieves should not be killed but arrested and charged in court of law.
