Kajo-Keji County Senior Information Inspector said angry residents retaliated attacks, overrunning Moyo District of Uganda, capturing and detaining twelve Ma’di women in Kajo-Keji.
Beden Elikana Kenyi disclosed that the captives are now in South Sudan Police Service’ custody.
He added that authorities would not mistreat the apprehended women.
Mr Elikana said Moyo residents burned over 90 South Sudanese households and raided 37 cattle.
He added that there were already three dead South Sudanese lying in Kajo-Keji Civil Hospital mortuary including a school boy, an elderly and a pregnant woman.
Mr Elikana said Ugandan attackers mainly Ma’di killed three more others still lying at A’baya village.
The Information Inspector disclosed that angry Kajo-Keji residents killed more than ten Moyo attackers and wounded over 20 now admitted in Mulago Hospital.
He argued that revenge incentive was due to Ma’di torturing and killing, South Sudanese students’ detention, properties looting and insults that the Kuku are cowards.
The Information Inspector said Kuku known for God fearing, hospitality and coolness lost temper control as they witness deadly attacks.
Mr Elikana appeals to South Sudan and Uganda authorities to address heightening border tensions to realize normal relations.
CRN could not reach for comments from Uganda authorities.
