At least eight people were abducted by South Sudanese rebels in Northern Bahr al Ghazal state’s Aweil North county last month, local authorities said.
County commissioner Kon Angok Kon told Radio Tamazuj Monday said the exact number of abducted citizens is not known.
He said the rebels took people from their farms, and local chiefs are assessing the total number unaccounted for.
Kon said there have been no movement of the rebels in the county since a series of small attacks in June.
