Rumbek Central County Commissioner in Lakes State condemned students leaving schools to join their brothers in ongoing inter-sectional fights over cattle.

Mawet Manuer on Tuesday lamented that it was very unfortunate that some students leave studies and join cattle rustling what he described as “very risky.”

He said parents paid school fees for their children to learn and become better people in the future, but abandoned schools to join senseless fights. 

Commissioner Mawet advised the students not to revenge, urging them to avoid taking the law into their own hands.
