If not escorted by soldiers, trucks passing through the area immediately face an ambush. The victims left early in the morning, and as most offices were still closed, they fell into the hands of criminals and were shot dead,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Unity State Information Minister David Gai clarified that the incident occurred in the territory of Ruweng Administrative Area, not Unity State.<\/p>\n<p>He stated, \u201cThey were not killed in Unity State. They were killed in Abiemnhom, which belongs to Ruweng Administrative Area when leaving from Kuacjok to Abiemnhom County.
