Another ambush along Yei-Maridi road left two people dead and two others wounded on Tuesday.
Director for civil-military relations for Greater Yei Michael Machar Confirmed to Media that the deadly incident happened at a distance of about seven to eight miles from Yei town.
He reveals that two people were killed in the process and two others got injured and are receiving treatment at Yei civil hospital.
Michael confirms that among the two diseased are a boda-boda business operator and a trader who died on spot at the scene of the incident.
Machar mentioned that no detailed information of the people behind the ambush was established.
The director of civil-military relations adds that SSPDF forces from five and ten miles rushed to the scene of the incident to rescue the situation though late.
He suspects forces of the National Salvation Front to be behind the attack since they are the only active opposition group operating in the area.
The official cites enough evidence that proves the rebels are behind the atrocities committed against the civilian population along the highways of greater Yei.
He points out the burning of the car of the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Morobo as one of the pieces of evidence that signify their actions of attacks against civilians along highways.
The civil-military relation director reveals investigations to establish the truth about who is behind the attacks on the civil population.
Last week an incident of an ambush along Yei-Lasu road left one Boda-boda rider dead and two others injured.
Cases of armed attacks on innocent civilians who are operating different businesses to provide for their family’s needs continue to be rampant in Yei County.
