Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Three people were shot and critically wounded after a passenger car destined for Juba from Nimule was ambushed by unidentified armed men. An eyewitness told The City Review that the incident happened at around 7 PM South Sudan time proximal to the army barrack where the South Sudan People\u2019s Defence Force (SSPDF) Tiger Division is stationed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt happened right before us because our car was behind. When we arrived at the spot the attackers had left. Three people were shot, a little boy and two male adults, but fortunately none of them died though they were critically injured,\u201d the source told The City Review Monday.<\/p>\n

The victims, the eyewitness said, were rescued by SSPDF soldiers and rushed to Juba for emergency medical attention. Speaking to The City Review, Arop Daniel confirmed that one of the victims identified as Ojuk Robert and a member of his family was gnashing a broken left limb and a dislocated arm at Peace Hospital in Juba Town.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamily, friends, and in-laws, let\u2019s pray for our brother Ojuk Robert. He has been on the left arm and leg this [Sunday] evening along Juba \u2013 Nimule Highway and he is in serious pain \u2013 admitted at Peace Hospital in Juba Town,\u201d he said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up interview with The City Review, Arop, who comes from Ojuk\u2019s family line said the doctors were still doing medical assessment before executing surgery. He reiterated that the pain from the gunshot injuries remained excruciating.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe transferred him to Peace Hospital here in Juba Town and he\u2019s still restless due to too much pain from the injuries he sustained,\u201d he told The City Review. Daniel condemned the senseless attack against innocent civilians and urged authorities to trace the suspects and bring them to justice.<\/p>\n

The car was ambushed near a farm where Ojum Ben, another driver \u2013 had the car\u2019s windscreen vandalized by gunfire in late 2021 after he was ambushed by unidentified armed men on his way from Magwi County to Juba.<\/p>\n

When contacted by The City Review, authorities in Juba said they were not informed about the incident. Police Spokesperson Maj. Gen. Daniel Justin said law enforcement agents were making attempts to get the official report.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the issue of the attack along Juba \u2013Nimule road, we did not get any clear information because I called Nimule and Nesitu but they told us that they don\u2019t have any report about the attack. We are going to find out from our organized forces located in different locations along the highway,\u201d Justin said.<\/p>\n

SSPDF Spokesperson Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai said his desk will check the organized forces deployed along the highway on Tuesday. \u201cI have not gotten the report but I will find out tomorrow [Tuesday] what exactly took place on Sunday evening,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The attack, which is the first of its kind in 2022, defied the government\u2019s efforts to implement security mechanisms along the Juba \u2013 Nimule Road littered by soldiers who demand basic necessities like drinking water and cigarettes from drivers.<\/p>\n

The Juba \u2013 Nimule Highway stole headlines in 2021 after a spate of attacks led to the killing of two catholic nuns and truck drivers. President Salva Kiir consequently pulled of the Rome talks accusing the South Sudan Opposition Movements Alliance (SSOMA) of plotting the attacks against innocent civilians, an accusation SSOMA denied.<\/p>\n
