Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>About 12,380 herds of cattle were raided and two people killed when a group of rustlers raided Lony and Padoi in Akobo West County of Jonglei. Speaking to The City Review, the Police Commissioner of Jonglei, Maj. Gen. Joseph Mayen Akoon said the incident occurred yesterday.<\/p>\n

The local official claimed the attacks were carried out by cattle raiders suspected of having come from the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA). He said despite the raid, some of the cattle have been returned but did not disclose the number of cattle returned.<\/p>\n

Mayen said the situation on the ground is calm and the police have beefed up security in the area. He added that despite the police exerting more effort to maintain law and order and ensure that the issue of cattle raiding is a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police still face the challenge of network coverage, mobility due to the impact of last year\u2019s flood in the area, which makes different places inaccessible and sometimes they also end up becoming victims,\u201d the Maj. General said.<\/p>\n

The Police Commissioner confirmed that eight people were killed and six others wounded when they were attacked by armed men in Nyirol County of Jonglei State during the week.<\/p>\n

\u201cEight people were killed when they had gone for hunting. They were ambushed while they were busy preparing food,\u201d he said. He added that upon investigation, they noted that the slain victims had their guns taken by the attackers.<\/p>\n

Nyirol County Commissioner, James Bol Makuey, confirmed that seven fishermen were killed on the spot, six injured with one person still unaccounted for while they were the Lel fishing area on the outskirts of Langkien town.<\/p>\n

On both separate incidents, accusations have been levelled against armed bandits from the Greater Pibor Administrative Area. Brig. Gen. Marial Gatluak, the Police Inspector of Nyirol County, accused armed bandits suspected of having come from the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) of involvement in the incident.<\/p>\n
