Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan security forces have killed at least four people and wounded two others following a deadly shooting outside the central bank in the capital Juba after suspected robbers tried to run away with large amount of money they stole from a petroleum ministry official, sources said.<\/p>\n

The first source \u2013 a boda-boda rider who spoke to Sudans Post following the incident \u2013 said an official belonging to the ministry of petroleum was carrying a large amount of money when the robbers approached him to snatch the money before running away.<\/p>\n

He said police officers were pursuing the robbers when shooting erupted just outside the country\u2019s central bank in the middle of the capital Juba.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I heard is that there was an official of the ministry of petroleum carrying money and he was robbed of the money by the robbers and they run away,\u201d the boda-boda rider said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe security officers were running after them and so after they arrived near the central bank, I heard harami harami (theft, theft) and then there was a shooting after which I saw at least four bodies lying on the ground,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A security officer who refused to be named confirmed to Sudans Post the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour of them have been killed and two others were wounded. One of the two people who were wounded has been arrested and is receiving treatment at Juba Teaching Hospital after which he will be investigated,\u201d the security official said.<\/p>\n

In a statement seen by Sudans Post following the deadly shooting, the central bank confirmed the gunbattle and denied claims on social media that the robbers were targeting the government financial institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe top management of the Bank South Sudan said the incident, which occurred this evening was not inside the Bank as reported by some social networks,\u201d the department of Public Relations at the central bank said in a statement seen by Sudans Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident occurred outside of the Bank and was quelled by the security force. The situation is now calm,\u201d the statement released moments ago further added.<\/p>\n
