Two Sudanese nationals were found dead and five others wounded after being kidnapped by gunmen at Lasu camp in South Sudan’s Yei River State last week, several eyewitnesses said.

An eyewitness who preferred anonymity told Radio Tamazuj yesterday that the victims were kidnapped by an armed group while fleeing from Lasu camp which came under attack in September.

He pointed out that they found two Sudanese citizens dead and five others wounded. He added that the wounded were taken to Juba Teaching Hospital for treatment.

“We have people who were kidnapped by gunmen and they were detained for 18 days, but they were freed later and allowed to leave,” he said.

“So after they left, they were again attacked and two of them were killed and five others were injured, so they have been taken to Juba for treatment,” he added.
