Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>At least 3 civilians have reportedly been killed and an 8-year-old boy abducted during an attack by suspected armed herders from Jonglei State in Lobonok Payam of Central Equatoria State, a community leader said.<\/p>\n

Cirislo Lege Zakaria, Chairperson for Lobonok Development and Cultural Association said the incident occurred on the 16th of May during the occasion to mark SPLA Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, the Lobonok Development and Cultural Association (LODCA) express our dismay even as we empathize with the people of Lobonok following the attack and killings in Nyarjuwa village,\u201d Zakaria said during a press conference in Juba on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring 10:00 pm on Monday, 16th May 2022, three innocent\u2019s lives were lost and an 8-year-old boy was abducted by suspected marauding well-armed cattle herders from neighboring Jonglei State.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zakaria condemned the killing of innocent civilians and called on concerned authorities to take stern action to ensure perpetrators are brought to book.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe condemn the heinous and barbaric attacks in the strongest terms possible and appeal to concerned authorities to take stern action and ensure perpetrators are brought to book,\u201d Zakaria said.<\/p>\n

He extended their profound heartfelt condolences to the affected families for the losses they suffered during the attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attack happened on SPLM Day, a day we ought to celebrate the sacrifices by our gallant men and women who paid the price of our independence through their lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He called on the national government to strengthen law enforcement, investigate these crimes, and bring the perpetrators swiftly to justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on security agencies to speed up investigations to rescue the abducted boy and ensure justice is served to distressed people of Lobonok community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The attack in Lobonok follows recent deadly clashes during a raid on a Dinka Bor cattle camp that left at least 23 people dead \u2013 including women, children, and elderly people.<\/p>\n

The attacks were carried out by suspected Murle armed raiders from the Greater Pibor area, according to Eastern Equatoria State Governor Louis Lobong Lojore.<\/p>\n
