Dau Akoi Jurkuch, the county commissioner told Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday that an armed group attacked three villages in his county killing and looting.
“Armed men came from neighbouring Boma state and attacked us at Patiang but were repulsed, they then attacked Fakau, killed one person and stole 174 heads of cattle and in Fawei they stole 63 goats,” he added.
