Juba’s Deputy Inspector General of Police is calling on the public for information on the killing of boda-boda riders over the last two weeks.

Nearly 10 boda-bodas have been killed by unknown gunmen throughput Juba City.

We need the community to give us information, if the community is cooperating with us wherever they are and tell us where these criminals are staying,” said

The chairperson of the Boda-boda Association said that the killings were happening in specific parts of Juba, such as Northern Bari Payam, around Mangaten, Miyasaba and Gudelle and Newsite roads.

“People who were using motorbikes and were killed their bodies were found in Newsite road – the body of University student was found on that Newsite road,” he said.

Police Chief Manyuat said that police reinforcements have been deployed to the troubled areas as well as strategic roads. He also said that many of the attacks have occurred in the “late hours when there are no police around. “

Mister Jok agreed that said criminals could be targeting such areas during the late hours due to lack of security personnel presence in the area.
