At least two Somali truck drivers fell victim to a fatal road ambush along the Abiemnhom road in the Ruweng Administrative Area, according to a local official.
Matiop Dau Deng, the Commissioner of Abiemnhom County, told Radio Tamazuj Monday that the incident occurred at 8 a.m. last week in Awila village between Abiemnhom County and Mayom County in Unity State.
Deng explained that the Somali drivers, who were transporting goods for the GBOX oil business from Abiemnhom to Mayom County were ambushed by a group of armed criminals, resulting in their tragic deaths.
“The attack took place between Abiemnhom and Mayom by armed criminals along the road. If not escorted by soldiers, trucks passing through the area immediately face an ambush. The victims left early in the morning, and as most offices were still closed, they fell into the hands of criminals and were shot dead,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Unity State Information Minister David Gai clarified that the incident occurred in the territory of Ruweng Administrative Area, not Unity State.
He stated, “They were not killed in Unity State. They were killed in Abiemnhom, which belongs to Ruweng Administrative Area when leaving from Kuacjok to Abiemnhom County. It is not a territory of Unity State,” he said.
