He was apprehended by the local home guards, the Monyiemiji, of Murahatiha village while still in possession of the items he looted.<\/p>\n<p>The Torit County commissioner, Jacob Attari, told radio Tamazuj Tuesday that the youth in Murahatiha Boma in Torit County identified and arrested the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Monyiemiji of Murahatiha managed to identify the criminal. When they went and arrested him, he actually accepted that he is the one who did it,\u201d Commissioner Attari said. \u201cIn the past, the Murahatiha community made and signed an undertaking before the commissioner and governor that they will not tolerate any more criminals, so they apprehended him and called me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThey took possession of the things taken from the driver including the phone but they found the money had been used. We rushed there and brought the criminal and I hand him to the authorities for further investigation.\u201d Commissioner Attari thanked the youth of Murahatiha for cooperating with the government and urged other villages in Hiyalla Payam to emulate them.<\/p>\n<p>The Hiyalla Payam paramount chief, Galileo Ohide, confirmed the arrest and said the Monyimeiji are committed to peace and will ensure anybody jeopardizing the ongoing developments in the area will be arrested. He reassured the road contractors of security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis information is true and that person is called Otioho Tirre. He went and intimidated these people along the road while he was among the youth patrolling,\u201d Chief Ohide explained. \u201cThey went and patrolled to protect the cattle and he escaped to the road. In the evening, a telephone call was made to investigate a robbery, so the Monyiemiji admitted that one person was missing, leading to the arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Eastern Equatoria State director general of road and bridges, who is also the overseer of Juba-Torit-Kapoeta-Nadapal highway, Engineer Norman Charles Gideon, confirmed the robbery incident but said the road works were moving in smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot go into that because it is being handled by the honorable governor. You know we are not concerned about that because it was the commissioner who apprehended him,\u201d Engineer Gideon said. \u201cWe sensitized them before and even as we talk we have Monyiemiji working with us on the road. The criminal is being handled by the commissioner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
