Officials in Ayod County of Jonglei State say unknown gunmen shot and killed four people and made away with over 200 cattle in a remote village last weekend.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj Wednesday, James Chuol Jiek, the Ayod County commissioner, said the incident occurred when the armed men attacked the locals at a waterpoint in the Kwach-Deng area.
“The attackers killed two herdsmen who were looking after the cattle at a waterpoint in Kwach-Deng and raided 268 cows. Later as the attackers left, they found two women on the road and killed them,” he said.
Commissioner Chuol added that the county remained calm despite the incident.
For his part, John Samuel Manyuon, the state information minister, also confirmed the attack but said that he was yet to get full details.
