Some of the cattle raided in Lakes state on Monday have been recovered by authorities but the ringleaders of the cattle raid remain at large.
Cattle owners from the Ngap cattle camp say raiders killed five people in the attack and stole 250 head of cattle, Radio Miraya reported today.
Commissioner of Cueibet County Isaac Mayom Malek says police are still pursuing the attackers: “Some group from Duony payam of Cueibet County had raided cattle from Rumbek Centre at place called Ngap.”
“Now we are collecting the cattle with community police, chiefs and operation police. The ringleaders – we did not find them. They run away. We are now proceeding to where they headed to, where they have gone. We are going after them to collect back to cattle to their owner,” he said.
