Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A prominent businessman, Yik Makuach Jokbath, was on Friday killed in a revenge attack in Nyirol County of Jonglei State, local officials said. Makuei Puok, the deceased\u2019s relative said the businessman was killed in the county headquarters, Langkien town by an assailant avenging for his brother on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe businessman was killed just after he airlifted some goods to Langkien two weeks ago. The assailant came from Uror County\u2019s Motot area and he is revenging for his brother killed in Pading three years ago by a relative of Yik,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Makuei said they are shocked by the death of their son who hails from Nyirol\u2019s Pading and called on the authorities there to investigate the incident and arrest anyone involved.<\/p>\n

John Yoal Chuol, the Nyirol county executive director, said the murder suspect has immediately escaped to Uror but that they are engaging their counterparts there to help arrest the suspect.<\/p>\n

The local official called for calm as the investigation is underway. \u201cOn social media, there are reports that those hailing from Uror are being targeted in Nyirol. This is not true. The situation is calm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

For his part, Joseph Mayen Akoon, the state police commissioner, cautioned the locals against seeking redress through revenge killing which he said has seen a rise over the past few months, instead he urged them to allow the law to take its course.<\/p>\n
