The incident reportedly took place at Okuma Mafi in Hiyala payam of
Torit county in South Sudan’s Eastern Equatoria state on Sunday.
The state information minister, Josephine Nakuru said those ambushed
were national security personal traveling from Torit to Kapoeta county
of Eastern Equatoria state.
“The aim of this people were to make sure they got these boys in hand
or get the ammunition and the vehicles that these boys were using,”
said Nakuru.
One of the security operative, she added, escaped with injuries and
was brought at Kapoeta hospital for treatment.
The minister condemned the attacks that frequently occur along the
Torit-Kapoeta road, urging bandits to halt the act. Daniel Jino, a
trader in Kapoeta, said security in the area mainly worsened after the
state was split into two provinces.
He called on neighbouring communities to put aside their differences
and work to improve the insecurity that innocent civilians often face
on major roads leading to the capital.
"Security in the state was under full control during [Governor Louis]
Lobong’s time, but am very worried about what is happening now. Things
are now running out of hand", said Jino.

I have no sympathy for the so-called national security personnel
in South Sudan. I wish for the worst for anybody who is a national
security or Mathiang anyoor operative. Good riddance!!!
