Armed youth allegedly shot to dead two students at around 10:00 AM morning at Hai Matar area near Bakhita of Salesians of Don Bosco Mission in Tonj.
The secretary-general of former Tonj State Gabriel Awan Makuoch said the government is working hard to bring the culprits to justice.
Awan requested people of Tonj State to stay calm.
“There is no need to panic because the security is fully monitoring the situation in and around Tonj town”, the secretary-general advised the public.
He urged the communities to focus on development instead of killing their own brothers and sisters.
Awan urged communities not to create other problems, but to stay calm until the criminals are arrested.
