A search for a group of armed youth who raided about 700 cattle in Tonj State is underway, local authorities have said.
The Deputy Governor, Manhiem Bol, said gunmen suspected to have come from an area called Luanyjang in Tonj East carried out the raid in Tonj North last week.
He says a security force has been established to carry out the search.
“…those who carried out the cattle raiding are known, their names have been submitted to my office and they are being hunted now.”
