Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief of Lobonok Payam shot by a soldier had pleaded with Vice President Wani Igga to help redeploy and replace soldiers stationed in the area with police forces before the shooting incident.<\/p>\n

Chief Matayo Kenyi Jale was shot with three bullets in his chest by an SSPDF soldier identified only as Dut.<\/p>\n

This was on Wednesday at around 7:00 p.m. in the Pager area of Luwala Boma.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his hospital bed, the chief has again pleaded with Vice President Dr. James Wani Igga to help relocate soldiers away from the area.<\/p>\n

Chief Matayo says he had previously requested the government to relocate the soldiers citing they have stayed in the area for too long<\/p>\n

According to him, the soldiers had threatened him before the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have previously told Zholkebiir [the big man, Wani Igga] that the soldiers cannot stay for four years, usually supposed to be six months or one year, not two years,\u201d Chief Matayo narrated his ordeal to Eye Radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have to be changed and bring another for deployment because staying like this is not good. I told the Vice President,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Vice President, Wani Igga] is not happy with what happened, so the day before yesterday [Thursday, August 31] he [Vice President, Wani Igga] came here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told him this is it you thought it was a minor issue, but it is now something big he said they are going to solve it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief Matayo Kenyi Jale said the suspect was arrested shortly after the incident by fellow soldiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told him if I did something to you wrong, you can kill me but if I have not hurt you, you should not involve yourself in such things,\u201d Chief Matayo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe saw the soldiers coming he rushed to the road and the soldiers threatened him and arrested him, they came and found me lying,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commander come? I said comrade Nhial no one else that shot me except Dut, it is Dut who shot me.\u201d<\/p>\n
