The attack near Kor-Makuach was one of similar incidences that
occurred at the same location this year.
“I was inside the car that was attacked. The driver saw like two
people in front of us, with guns in a short distance. He speedily
tried to bypass them, and it was during this time when they started
firing at us,” said eyewitness Majok Deng.
“One man was killed on the spot, and the driver was shot twice, but he
did not stop the car. In the course of the firing, three others were
injured just within no time”, he further recalled.
The attackers, Deng said, were roughly seven in numbers, with many
suspecting them to be from the Murle tribe of Jonglei state’s Pibor
county.
Colonel Ajang John, a police officer in Jonglei state also confirmed
the incident.
“Two vehicles left Juba but unfortunately after reaching to areas of
Kor-Makuach they failed into ambush. One person was shot dead in the
first vehicle and four others were injured. And all properties have
been looted from the second vehicle”, said Ajang.
He said security organs were still gathering more information on the
items looted, and the perpetrators who carried out the attack.
“We are now investigating the incident and more information will later
be reveled after security reports are completed”, said Ajang.
