A security officer in charge of protection for the Yei River State Governor David Lokonga and a civilian were killed in skirmishes between government troops and opposition forces at TTC residential area in the western part of Yei town on Sunday night, according to eyewitnesses.
The eyewitnesses told Radio Tamazuj on Monday that the governor’s security guard who was identified as Osman was shot dead while another civilian was found dead on Monday morning.
The same eyewitness pointed out that the sporadic shooting in the town forced families to flee in fear that fighting could erupt again any time in the town.
