New police recruits during a parade in Yambio June 27, 2016 (ST)
July 21, 2017 (YAMBIO) – A Policeman in the South Sudanese newly
created Gbudue State guarding one of the petrol stations in Yambio was
shot dead by unknown armed men who took away his gun on Thursday
night.
Speaking to Sudan Tribune after the State Council of Ministers
meeting, Gibson Bullen Wande the Minister of Information and Culture,
Youth and Sports in Gbudue state said that there are shortfalls in the
security situation due to the increase of armed crimes at night in
Yambio town in the recent weeks.
“Yambio County in the past few weeks has been experiencing series of
targeted killings, as armed criminals in the town continue to
terrorise the population demanding money and stealing or kill people.”
Wande added that a woman also was found dead and dumped in a house in
the suburb of Yambio town and it remains unclear who killed her and no
suspect has been arrested. But he reiterated the government resolve to
put in place measures to curb the criminals who are causing insecurity
more especially in Yambio town.
A resident of Gangara Emilia neighbourhood in Yambio who declined to
mention his name said the security in their homes has worsened as
unknown armed men who could not be identified at night continue to
demand money and confiscate valuable items from the residents at night
creating fear among them.
The resident urged the government to introduce the organised forces
patrols at night with immediate effect as the community are left
vulnerable for looting and killings.
"Hundreds of armed men who were in the bush and decided to surrender
under SPLA-IO are in the Yambio town and those under South Sudan
National Liberation Movement SSNLM who are waiting for graduation
remains the security threat in the town as most of them are staying
with guns among the community,“ the resident claimed.
